Descripción
Sumario:This book is to improve our understanding of mechanisms leading to seizures in humans and in developing new therapeutic options. The book covers topics such as recent approaches to seizure control, recent developments in signal processing of interest for seizure prediction, ictogenesis in complex epileptic brain networks, active probing of the pre-seizure state, non-EEG based approaches to the transition to seizures, microseizures and their role in the generation of clinical seizures, the impact of sleep and long-biological cycles on seizure prediction, as well as animal and computational models of seizures and epilepsy. Furthermore the book covers recent developments of international databases and of parallel computing structures based on cellular nonlinear networks that can play an important role in the realization of a portable seizure warning device.
Notas:"This book comprises contributions delivered at the 5th International Workshop on Seizure Prediction held in Dresden, Germany in the September of 2011"--Preface.
