Epilepsy Towards the Next Decade
A comprehensive collection of the most recent knowledge on the biological bases of various kinds of epilepsies and modern clinical approaches to their treatment. Epilepsy affects about 0.5-1% of the world's population (about 50,000,000 individuals) and the main goal of its treatment is to eliminate seizures without creating side effects. Despite numerous advances in the treatment of epilepsy and the approval of several new antiepileptic drugs, about 30% of patients continue to experience recurrent seizures which are medically, physically, and/or socially disabling. The editor of this volume hopes that by bridging the gap between the fundamental biology of epilepsy and its clinical implications he might spur further research and treatment options.
50 Temptations of Grey Matter
Brain, brain in the shell... Whoever has the best intentions, will never feel in hell. Everything happens inside the neuron cell... But yell, and tell to ring the bell. Brain ... brain in the shell... - Ana Guerreiro We know that our brain is full of absurdly complex and tangled “wires”, leading us to ask almost daily: "Why did i do that?", "How can i forget that?", "How could i not remember such a thing? ”, and “What the hell is wrong with me?” Our brains seem a little stupid, ignorant and very “clumsy”, sometimes. Why is it that we are led by so many temptations? Are they really that impossible to circumvent? Most of us live without using our potential. There are, at least, 50 gray matter “temptations”. It’s true, we have a very demanding biology. She wants constant pleasure, because that means survival. She has billions of years of evolution, with many whims. It is difficult to face it. Really? I don’t think so!

Drug-Resistant Epilepsies
Over 12 million people with epilepsy have seizures that cannot be controlled by antiepileptic drugs. The term "drug-resistance" is abundantly used in the epilepsy literature but the definitions proposed differ considerably. It is used indifferently in a number of different settings: as a criterion for selection of patients eligible for new antiepileptic drug trials, for the selection of surgical candidates, for the design of epidemiological studies, for the design of studies on quality of life, for the definition of the epileptic encephalopathies (in comparison to more benign epilepsy syndromes), to mention but a few. As a result, available studies are usually not comparable and referral to epilepsy specialists is unacceptably delayed. The volume includes several focused chapters on all issues relating to drug-resistance and offers the basis for a consensus on a clinically meaningful core definition.
