Reflex Epilepsies: progress in understanding
Description:... Reflex epilepsies can provide a qualitative and quantitative viewpoint of the complexities of ictogenesis.
The various chapters in this book examine the factors that can
trigger a seizure, such as hot water, food, contact and movement, music
and emotions.
The relationship between several reflex epilepsy mechanisms and
juvenile myoclonic epilepsy is discussed along with the significance of
their occurrence in syndromes, enhancing our understanding of current
epilepsy nosology.
The conventional dichotomy appears outdated, while functional
studies of trigger mechanisms are moving more towards central nervous
system subsets acting as pathological networks that produce seizures in
generalized and focal epilepsies.
