Characteristics of Epileptiform Discharge Duration and Interdischarge Interval in Genetic Generalized Epilepsies.

abstract：:The combination of phasic and tonic neuromuscular processes are involved in the maintenance of normal upright posture. The latter is of particular importance in some pathologies, such as Parkinson's Disease (PD), which is known by one of its cardinal symptoms-tonic dysfunction (i.e., rigidity). Changes in tonic functi...
