MDR1 gene expression in brain of patients with medically intractable epilepsy.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Children with rolandic spikes may or may not have seizures, ranging from benign rolandic epilepsy to severe atypical rolandic epilepsy. We investigated whether ripples (80-250 Hz), superimposed on rolandic spikes in surface electroencephalography (EEG), can differentiate between different entities. METHODS:I...
