...Bernd Pohlmann-Eden; Jeffrey I. Cochius; Daniel B. Hoch; Michael G. Hennerici Many questions regarding the mechanisms underlying the development of seizures in cerebral stroke remain unanswered. However, the continued critical investigation of this important issue is likely to ultimately lead...

...Bernd Pohlmann-Eden; Daniel B. Hoch; Jeffrey I. Cochius; Michael G. Hennerici Stroke-associated seizures and epilepsy provide an excellent clinical model to study both acute hyperexcitability after stroke and long-term tissue changes responsible for epileptogenic scar formation. The authors...
