Functional hemispherectomy: EEG findings, spiking from isolated brain postoperatively, and prediction of outcome.

abstract：:Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is characterized by a hyperimmune state toward the polypeptides of measles virus except the matrix (M) protein. Using cloned (3H)-labeled complementary DNA probes for in situ hybridization, we found the M protein and nucleocapsid (NP) protein nucleotide sequences in glial cel...
