A comprehensive collection of the most recent knowledge on the
biological bases of various kinds of epilepsies and modern clinical
approaches to their treatment. Epilepsy affects about 0.5-1% of the
world's population (about 50,000,000 individuals) and the main goal
of its treatment is to eliminate seizures without creating side
effects. Despite numerous advances in the treatment of epilepsy and
the approval of several new antiepileptic drugs, about 30% of
patients continue to experience recurrent seizures which are
medically, physically, and/or socially disabling. The editor of
this volume hopes that by bridging the gap between the fundamental
biology of epilepsy and its clinical implications he might spur
further research and treatment options.
