Epileptic seizures and pseudoseizures from the viewpoint of the hierarchy of consciousness.

abstract：:We review information from large studies of defined populations, examining the role of known factors and especially of prenatal and perinatal factors in contributing to nonfebrile seizure disorders of early childhood. We depend especially, but not exclusively, on the recently completed analyses from the Collaborative ...
