Abstract: This volume presents the latest findings from leading neuroscientists and epileptologists on the physiopathology, diagnosis, and treatment of frontal lobe seizures. The book places a timely emphasis on recent experimental work on the developmental functional neuroanatomy of the prefrontal cortex in relation to memory, cognitive behavior, and the physiopathology of frontal lobe seizures and their neurosurgical treatment.
