Epilepsy and the Reticular Formation - książka wyd. 1987

Opis

The reticular formation (RF) in the brainstem is a crucial, non-specific network involved in the initiation, modulation, and spread of epileptic seizures, particularly convulsive ones. It functions as a "gateway" to consciousness, with its disruption causing the altered awareness typical of seizures. The RF interacts with the thalamus to regulate cortical activity, and its dysfunction is linked to both generalized seizures and behavioral changes.
