Thalamic mechanisms of EEG alpha rhythms and their pathological implications
SW Hughes, V Crunelli - The Neuroscientist, 2005 - journals.sagepub.com
During relaxed wakefulness, the human brain exhibits pronounced rhythmic electrical

Cellular and network mechanisms of spike‐wave seizures
H Blumenfeld - Epilepsia, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Spike‐wave seizures are often considered a relatively “pure” form of epilepsy, with a uniform
defect present in all patients and involvement of the whole brain homogenously. Here, we …
