Generalized Seizure Models and the Corpus Callosum

  • Chapter
Epilepsy and the Corpus Callosum

Abstract

Classifications of epilepsy have long recognized two major groups:(1) partial or focal, and (2) primary generalized or nonfocal, or idiopathic or essential, or “centrencephalic” or “corticoreticular.”
