Generalized Non-Convulsive Epilepsy: Focus on GABA-B Receptors

Generalized Non-Convulsive Epilepsy: Focus on GABA-B Receptors edited by C. Marescaux, M. Vergnes, R. Bernasconi.

Generalized non convulsive epilepsy (GNCE), also called absence or petit mal epilepsy, is a disease appearing during childhood. EEG, clinical, pharmacological and genetic characteristics differ from those of convulsive or focal epilepsies. No underlying structural or biochemical abnormality has been...
