Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, and primidone in partial and secondarily generalized tonic-clonic seizures
Richard H. Mattson,Joyce A. Cramer,Joseph F. Collins,Dennis B. Smith,Antonio V. Delgado-Escueta,Thomas R. Browne,Peter D. Williamson,David M. Treiman,James O. McNamara,Charlotte B. McCutchen +9 more
TL;DR: Overall, carbamazepine and phenytoin are recommended drugs of first choice for single-drug therapy of adults with partial or generalized tonic-clonic seizures or with both.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics of medial temporal lobe epilepsy: I. Results of history and physical examination
Jacqueline A. French,Peter D. Williamson,Vijay M. Thadani,Terrance M. Darcey,Richard H. Mattson,Richard H. Mattson,Susan S. Spencer,Susan S. Spencer,Dennis D. Spencer,Dennis D. Spencer +9 more
TL;DR: There is a very strong relationship between complicated febrile seizures during early childhood or infancy and the later development of medial temporal lobe epilepsy, which can be a progressive disease as evidenced by silent intervals and progressive elaboration of seizures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Practice parameter: Temporal lobe and localized neocortical resections for epilepsy Report of the Quality Standards Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology, in Association with the American Epilepsy Society and the American Association of Neurological Surgeons
Jerome Engel,Samuel Wiebe,Jacqueline A. French,Michael R. Sperling,Peter D. Williamson,Dennis D. Spencer,Robert J. Gumnit,Catherine Zahn,Edward L. Westbrook,Bruce Enos +9 more
TL;DR: A single Class I study and 24 Class IV studies indicate that the benefits of anteromesial temporal lobe resection for disabling complex partial seizures is greater than continued treatment with antiepileptic drugs, and the risks are at least comparable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional organization of human supplementary motor cortex studied by electrical stimulation.
Itzhak Fried,Amiram Katz,Gregory McCarthy,Kimberlee J. Sass,Peter D. Williamson,Susan S. Spencer,Dennis D. Spencer +6 more
TL;DR: Electrical stimulation mapping with currents below the threshold of afterdischarges showed somatotopic organization of supplementary motor cortex with the lower extremities represented posteriorly, head and face most anteriorly, and the upper extremities between these two regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human cortical potentials evoked by stimulation of the median nerve. II. Cytoarchitectonic areas generating long-latency activity.
TL;DR: The anatomic generators of human median nerve somatosensory evoked potentials were investigated in 54 patients by means of cortical-surface and transcortical recordings obtained during neurosurgery and suggest that the ipsilateral potentials are generated by transcallosal input from the contralateral hemisphere.
