Synchronization of EEG Activity in Epilepsies A Symposium Organized by the Austrian Academy of Sciences, Vienna, Austria, September 12–13, 1971

The onset of an epileptic seizure has become a matter of prime interest in the last two decades. For successful therapy it is of the greatest importance to understand how the different inhibitory mechanisms involved in the normally functioning brain are carried out, and how the devastating avalanche...
