The few studies addressing semiology of psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) in children showed that this group differs from adults, considering the classical signs described. Our study with systematic assessment provides a direct comparison of the classical signs of psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNESs) in children and adults in order to establish the usefulness of the most important s...

This study examined implicit and explicit anxiety in individuals with epilepsy and psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNESs) and explored whether these constructs were related to experiential avoidance and seizure frequency. Based on recent psychological models of PNESs, it was hypothesized that nonepileptic seizures would be associated with implicit and explicit anxiety and experiential avoida...

In previous work we have shown that GABAB receptors are required for expression of absence seizures in the lethargic (lh/lh) mouse model; that lh/lh mice have increased numbers of GABAB binding sites compared to nonepileptic littermates (designated +/+); and that the magnitude of the increased number of GABAB receptors in lh/lh mice correlated positively with the frequency of absence seizures. ...
