Abstract

Recent research on epilepsy has uncovered important and clinically relevant mechanisms of generalized and localized seizures, among which are inherited abnormalities of ion channels, hippocampal sclerosis, cortical malformations, and dysfunction of glial cells. This review highlights research findings that suggest possibilities for the prevention and treatment of epilepsy.
