Behavioral Aspects of Epilepsy: Principles and Practice

This important new book, the first in the field, comprehensively covers the topic from basic science to clinical applications. It is a fascinating read for all neurologists, psychiatrists, and researchers in the fields of epilepsy, neuroscience, and psychology/psychiatry.
Behavioral aspects of epilepsy includes a patient s experiences during seizures, reactions between seizures, frequency of episodes, impact of number of seizures, and the effect of the disease and its various treatments on mood and cognition. With contributions by leading international experts, this is the only book to cover all aspects of this emerging science. Adult and pediatric patients, animal models, and epilepsy surgery and its effects are all covered in detail.
Written by authorities in the field, Behavioral Aspects of Epilepsy features a bench to bedside approach that explores:

The mechanisms underlying epilepsy and behavior
Neurophysiologic function
Neuropsychiatric and behavioral disorders in patients with epilepsy
The effects of treatments and surgery on behavior
Pediatric and adolescent epilepsy
Disorders associated with epilepsy that impact behavior
And much more

All neurologists, neuroscientists, psychiatrists, and psychologists who treat patients with epilepsy will find compelling insights that will help them to better understand and manage the complex behavioral issues their patients face daily.

Childhood Epilepsy: Language, Learning and Behavioural Complications

The focus of this comprehensive work is on the complete care of the child rather than on diagnosis, classification and medication alone. More than half of all epileptic children have interrelated language, learning, and/or behavior complications that persist beyond seizure control and present problems for health and educational systems. This reference makes a significant contribution to furthering the knowledge of clinicians, educators, and language specialists about the needs of this special pediatric population.

Epilepsy: A Comprehensive Textbook (3-volume set)

This Second Edition is thoroughly updated and gives you a complete print and multimedia package: the three-volume set plus access to an integrated content Website. More than 300 chapters cover the spectrum of biology, physiology, and clinical information, from molecular biology to public health concerns in developing countries.

Included are detailed discussions of seizure types and epilepsy syndromes; relationships between physiology and clinical events; psychiatric and medical comorbidity; conditions that could be mistaken for epilepsy; and an increasing range of pharmacologic, surgical, and alternative therapies, including vagus nerve stimulation and deep brain stimulation.

This edition describes many new antiepileptic drugs, major advances in surgical treatment, and state-of-the-art neuroimaging, EEG, and other technologies for diagnosis and seizure prediction. A companion Website offers instant access to the complete, fully searchable text, plus an image bank of additional figures, video footage, and annual updates to selected chapters.
