radioimmunoprecipitation of Kv1 potassium channel subunits from brain tissue extracts and …

In vertebrates, the contactin (CNTN) family of neural cell recognition molecules includes six
related cell adhesion molecules that play non-overlapping roles in the formation and …

Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis (MTLE‐HS) is characterized by its
well‐defined clinical profile. Limbic encephalitis is increasingly recognized as a possible …

The detection of antineural autoantibodies in patients with epilepsy has led to the new
concept of “autoimmune epilepsy.” A particularly important implication is that knowledge of …

Until recently, epilepsy medical therapy is usually limited to anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs).
However, approximately 1/3 of epilepsy patients, described as drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) …
