  • Title: Generalized epilepsies: emerging insights into cellular and genetic mechanisms.
    Author: Hosford DA, Caddick SJ, Lin FH.
    Journal: Curr Opin Neurol; 1997 Apr; 10(2):115-20. PubMed ID: 9147002.
    Abstract:
    In the past year we have gained significant insights into the molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying generalized absence seizures, primarily through the study of animal models. Also a new understanding has emerged about the genetic bases of certain syndromes in which generalized myoclonic and tonic-clonic seizures are expressed. New insights into these different types of generalized seizures may lead eventually to new therapies.
