NBQX blocks acute and late epileptogenic effects of perinatal hypoxia.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Genetic testing has become a routine part of the diagnostic workup in children with early onset epilepsies. In the present study, we sought to investigate a cohort of adult patients with epilepsy, to determinate the diagnostic yield and explore the gain of personalized treatment approaches in adult patients. ...
