25. Psychiatric disorders in candidates for surgery for epilepsy.
OBJECTIVE--To provide a descriptive analysis of the prevalence and pattern of psychiatric morbidity among 300 consecutive epileptic patients refractive to treatment and admitted during a six year period for evaluation of their candidature for surgery. METHODS--Patients underwent detailed observation of their seizure and standardised psychiatric assessment. P

26. enhancer of seizure: A New Genetic Locus in Drosophila melanogaster Defined by Interactions with Temperature-Sensitive Paralytic Mutations
Mutations in the enhancer of seizure (e( sei)) locus have been isolated on the basis of their ability to cause temperature-induced paralysis of alleles at the seizure (sei ) locus at temperatures at which these mutations ordinarily do not paralyze. This enhancer is specific to the seizure locus and is without effect on other temperature-sensitive paralytic m

27. Video game induced seizures.
Fifteen patients who experienced epileptic seizures while playing video games are described together with a review of 20 cases in the English literature. Nine of the 15 cases and all but two of the reported cases experienced their first seizure while playing video games. Two thirds of patients had idiopathic generalised epilepsy and mainly reported generalis

28. Surgical treatment of epilepsy due to cortical dysplasia: clinical and EEG findings.
Seventeen patients with cortical dysplasia who had surgical resection for medically intractable partial epilepsy were studied. Compared with two groups of surgically treated patients with intractable epilepsy due to tumour (n = 20) and mesial temporal sclerosis (n = 40), patients with cortical dysplasia showed significantly more frequent extratemporal lesion

29. A longitudinal assessment of seizure outcome and overall benefit from 100 cortectomies for epilepsy.
Results of 100 cortical resections for 76 temporal, 23 frontal and one parietal lobe epilepsies were studied in terms of seizure relief and overall benefit. A non-homogenous Markov chain model was used to take into account both the intravariability of post-surgical outcome and the differences in duration of follow-up in a group of patients consecutively oper

30. A clinical study of hypergraphia in epilepsy.
Fifteen patients with epilepsy and hypergraphia were compared with 32 patients with epilepsy but without hypergraphia. The number of previous psychiatric episodes, the number of Washington Psychosocial Seizure Inventory (WPSI) items indicating emotional maladjustment, and the number of CT scan abnormalities were significantly greater in the hypergraphic pati

31. Focal electroencephalographic abnormalities and computerised tomography findings in children with seizures.
A persistent focal abnormality was observed in 157 (16%) electroencephalograms undertaken in 964 consecutive children with epileptic and non-epileptic seizures seen over one year. CT head scans were performed in 121 (77%) of the 157 children with a focus on the EEG; 26 (21%) showed an abnormality, and 21 (81%) of the abnormalities were localised. There was n

32. Use of the hand held video camcorder in the evaluation of seizures.
Epilepsy is primarily a clinical diagnosis and eye witness accounts are invaluable in the differential diagnosis of seizures, but may be incomplete or misleading. A hand held video camcorder was used in this study to record seizures of patients to clarify the nature of their attacks. The videotapes assisted the diagnosis of non-epileptic attacks in nine of 2

33. Multiple subpial transection: a review of 21 cases.
Multiple subpial transection (MST) is a novel technique in surgery for epilepsy, employed in patients where some or all of the epileptogenic zone cannot be resected because it lies in a vital cortical area. Twenty one patients subjected to MST were reviewed. Eighteen patients had medically intractable epilepsy and three patients had Landau-Kleffner syndrome.

34. Preoperative EEG predicts memory and selective cognitive functions after temporal lobe surgery.
Preoperative and postoperative cognitive and memory functions, psychiatric outcome, and EEGs were evaluated in 32 epileptic patients who underwent temporal lobe surgery. The presence and location of preoperative slow wave focus in routine EEG predicted memory functions of the non-resected side after surgery. Neuropsychological tests of the function of the fr

35. Neural-specific expression, genomic structure, and chromosomal localization of the gene encoding the zinc-finger transcription factor NGFI-C.
The nerve growth factor-induced clone C (NGFI-C) gene encodes a zinc-finger transcription factor that is rapidly induced by nerve growth factor in rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells and by seizure in brain. NGFI-C is closely related to the previously described early response genes, nerve growth factor-induced clone A (NGFI-A or EGR1), EGR2, and EGR3. These four

36. Depression in secondary epilepsy: relation to lesion laterality.
Patients with epilepsy often have depressive disorders. This association may be particularly prominent in secondary epilepsy from a left hemisphere lesion. Among 1611 outpatients with epilepsy 272 patients were identified whose seizures originated from a structural brain lesion other than mesial temporal sclerosis. Sustained depressive disorders had occurred
