Deep Brain Stimulation and Epilepsy by Hans Lders
Deep brain stimulation has been used effectively for many years to treat patients suffering from Parkinson's disease. Now, neurologists and neurosurgeons are using electric pulse generators to block abnormal activity, i.e. epileptic fits. Promising research results indicate that electric pulses implanted deep in the brain can affect neurocircuitry and help stop oncoming seizures. Supplying a solid background on brain stimulation and its application to epilepsy, Deep Brain Stimulation and Epilepsy provides a historical overview, explores pathogenesis of brain stimulation, discusses animal experiments and human studies, and explores future prospects of brain stimulation for epileptic control. The editor and his team of contributors distill information drawn directly from the literature into one convenient resource."…Much of the data summarized in this book is not readily available elsewhereThis is a welcome addition for anyone interested in electrophysiology, epilepsy, and the therapeutic effects of electrical impulses."

'This is the definitive account of the state of play of deep brain stimulation in epilepsy. It is a scholarly work, and covers the entire body of knowledge in this area, both in terms of animal and human studies. It is likely to be the definitive text in this specialised area.' - Highly Commended, Neurology Category, 2004 BMA Medical Book Competition
'This is a welcome addition for anyone interested in electrophysiology, epilepsy, and the therapeutic effects of electrical impulses.' - British Journal of Neurosurgery, Volume 102, June 2005
