The treatment of nonepileptic seizures: historical perspectives and future directions.

abstract：:Medically intractable tonic and atonic seizures may be responsive to either vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) or corpus callosum section. VNS has been shown to be effective and is associated with very low morbidity. Callosotomy is a more ambitious procedure, with a higher risk of complications but greater likelihood of se...

The transporter best studied is P-glycoprotein, an ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily member.
