Genomics of brain and blood: progress and pitfalls.

abstract：:Between 1929 and 1980, 284 patients with refractory nontumoral frontal lobe epilepsy (FLE) underwent operation at the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI). We studied 39 patients (14%) who required reoperation. Mean age at the time of first operation was 18 years and at reoperation was 22 years. Clinical manifestatio...
