Neurogenesis and epilepsy in the developing brain.

abstract：PURPOSE:To systematically review the methodology and use of neuropsychological tests in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) in patients with epilepsy. METHODS:Trial reports were found by searching Medline 1966-1996 and searching through journals by hand. Inclusion and exclusion criteria w...
