Reproduction among individuals with idiopathic/cryptogenic epilepsy: risk factors for spontaneous abortion.

abstract：:Audiogenic seizure-prone mice (DBA/2J) were exposed to a broad band noise source. A reproducible response consisting of wild run, clonus, and tonic stages resulted in all mice. Layers 1 and pyramidal from the parietal cortex and the molecular and Purkinje cell-rich layers from the cerebellar vermis were separately ana...
