“This is a comprehensive text and atlas on animal and human studies of Epilepsy. … I highly recommend this book to the following audiences: students, fellows, researchers, neurologists, neurosurgeons, and undergraduates.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, September, 2015)“For the clinical neurologists and epileptologists dedicated to the care of children and adults affected with epilepsy, a concise book like Epilepsy … is a good attempt to become a source for those seeking rapid immersion in the essentials of translational epilepsy research that have tried to explain those critical aspects of epileptogenesis that involve acquired and developmental seizures. … it is a good foundation for those looking for a quick initial reference, which may not be available in rapidly accessible vast internet sources.” (Luis E. Bello-Espinosa, The Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences, Vol. 40 (1), January, 2013)
