Neuropsychological outcomes in epilepsy surgery patients with unilateral hippocampal sclerosis and good preoperative memory function.

abstract：:Nicotinamide is a ligand of the benzodiazepine receptor and has been reported to have anticonvulsant activity. In addition, our previous clinical experience has raised the possibility that it may also potentiate the action of barbiturates. Therefore, we have examined the anticonvulsant activity and neurotoxicity of ni...
