A neuropsychological battery for epilepsy.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Seizures are currently defined by their electrographic features. However, neuronal networks are intrinsically dependent on neurotransmitters of which little is known regarding their periictal dynamics. Evidence supports adenosine as having a prominent role in seizure termination, as its administration can ter...
