No other neurological condition allows the same opportunities for an intracranial electrophysiological study of the human brain as epilepsy does. Epileptic surgery is designed to remove the epileptic focus from the human brain, thereby effecting either cure or substantial reduction of seizures in an individual with an otherwise intractable condition. Its use as a treatment modality dates from the late 19th century, and it has become a widely used treatment option throughout the world in the last 20-30 years. The complexity of epilepsy cases in surgical centres, and the need for invasive electrode studies for pre-surgical evaluation, are both greatly increasing. Invasive Studies of the Human Epileptic Brain is the definitive reference text on the use of invasive electroencephalographic (EEG) diagnostic studies in human epilepsy. Written by some of the most renowned epilepsy experts of the 20th and 21st centuries, the authors provide their expertise and insights into the identification and mapping of intracranial epileptiform and non-epileptiform activity, mapping of the human brain function, and approaches in the use of invasive electroencephalography in a variety of clinical situations. The book is organized into an easily readable series of chapters and is brilliantly illustrated with case studies; each providing an intuitively comprehensive approach to invasive brain studies.

Aims to present an overview of the clinical semiology of epileptic seizures. This book/CD ROM package is meant for the practicing neurologist, who must recognize, diagnose, and treat the patient with epileptic seizures. The CD ROM demonstrates typical symptoms of different seizure types.

Pathophysiology and Clinical Semiology

Epileptic Seizures

Textbook of Epilepsy Surgery covers all of the latest advances in the surgical management of epilepsy. The book provides a thorough understanding of epileptogenic mechanisms in etiologically different types of epilepsy and explains neuronavigation systems. It discusses new neuroimaging techniques, new surgical strategies, and more aggressive surgic

Leading authorities in the field present a comprehensive, clinically focused text on all major aspects of electrodiagnosis in neurology. Serves as a practical daily resource for the clinician as well as an excellent study tool for board preparation in neurology and subspecialty status in neurophysiology. Topics in this generously illustrated text include basic neurophysiology, electromyography, autonomic testing, electroencephalography, evoked potentials and much more! Extensive descriptions and clinical examples in clinical neurophysiology Figures demonstrating electrophysiological examples Chapters devoted to EEG in children: normal development of the EEG, neonatal seizures, and paediatric epilepsy syndromes Individual case studies Chapters on problem solving in EMG diagnosis Primer on a unique technique for the localisation of EEG discharges Emerging application in neuromagnetic stimulation
