Magnetic resonance characteristics of the evolution of hippocampal injury following status epileptic - London WC1N 1EH
It has long been thought that prolonged epileptic seizures cause damage to the brain, particularly in a structure within the temporal lobe known as the hippocampus. This damage is called mesial tempra Read more  

Non-invasive imaging of epileptic activity by Electrical Impedance Tomography - London WC1E 6BT
Electrical Impedance Tomography is a novel medical imaging method, with which images of the electrical impedance of a subject can be produced with a box about the size of a video recorder, PC and EEG Read more  

Do kainate receptors contribute to the excitability of the hippocampus in human temporal lobe epilep - Southampton SO17 1BJ
Within a model of temporal lobe epilepsy, kainate receptors have recently been identified. These receptors have been shown to increase the excitability of cells in the hippocampus, directly or indirec Read more  

Epilepsy in infancy: spectrum of aetiologies, natural history and outcome predictors - London WC1N 1EH
Children with epilepsy present frequently in the first year of life. Studies have shown that a large proportion of these children have significant problems with development, continue to have seizures, Read more  

Tonic GABAa receptor signalling in epilepsy - London WC1E 6BT
Neurones signal among themselves primarily by releasing chemicals called neurotransmitters. These can be either excitatory (enhance neuronal activity) or inhibitory (dampen neuronal activity). Foremos Read more
