Dynamics of Epileptic Activity in a Peculiar Case of Childhood Absence Epilepsy and Correlation with Thalamic Levels of GABA

Childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) is a syndrome with well-defined electroclinical features but unknown pathological basis. An increased thalamic tonic GABA inhibition has recently been discovered on animal models (Cope et al., 2009), but its relevance for human CAE is unproven. METHODS: We studied an...
