A reference book written by distinguished epileptologists from around the world gathered in June 2001 at the 12th International Bethel-Cleveland Epilepsy Symposium to discuss and bring up to date our knowledge of the reflex epilepsies. It reports progress in the understanding of reflex epilepsies and describes how the study of reflex seizures helps us to better understand epilepsy itself.

A comprehensive international review of basic and clinical research based on the Mariani Foundation Colloquium on frontal lobe epilepsy in childhood and adolescence held at the Milan State University in October 2000. Distinguished authors discuss advances in neurogenetics, neuropsychology and imaging. This book describes clinical, electroencephalographic and neuroimaging patterns of frontal lobe epilepsy in detail and reviews advances in medical and surgical treatment. It will be useful and stimulating reading for pediatric and adult epilepsy specialists, psychiatrists, neuropsychologists and other behavioural scientists, and research workers in epileptology.
