Description
Febrile Seizures is written by the most active researchers and clinicians in epilepsy research today. This book presents
the latest developments in this field as well as the current state of knowledge in the following:
* New imaging tools and emerging data,
visualizing effects of febrile seizures on the brain
* New genetic methodologies
* The use of animal models to permit scientific analysis
of the electrophysiology and molecular biology of the seizure.
Audience
Neurologists, epileptologists, developmental neuroscientists, medical geneticists, and developmental biologists
