Electrocardiographic changes at the onset of epileptic seizures.

abstract：:Children with epilepsy often grow into adults with significant social problems including decreased employment, marriage, social relationships, and independent living arrangements. These problems are noted in population-based longitudinal and cross-sectional studies from many countries. Learning disorder and mental han...

abstract：PURPOSE:  Despite the consistent observation that γ-aminobutyric acid A (GABA(A) ) receptors mediate excitatory responses at perinatal stages, the role of the GABAergic system in the generation of neonatal epileptiform activity remains controversial. Therefore, we analyzed whether tonic and phasic GABAergic transmissio...
