Drebrin expression patterns in patients with refractory temporal lobe epilepsy and hippocampal sclerosis.

abstract：:We aimed to determine whether analysis of EEG envelope trend aids bedside detection of neonatal seizures. Five neonatal EEGs with multiple seizures were used to determine optimal trend parameters for seizure detection. Using these parameters, envelope trends were generated on eight additional EEGs, evaluated by experi...
