Fourth conference on epileptogenesis, May 23-26, 2007, Pisa, Italy.

The Fourth Conference on Epileptogenesis was aimed at discussing new and controversial issues in the area of epileptogenesis research in the format of a workshop. Epileptogenesis is a particularly integrative field of research, in which experimental data and clinical evidence are brought together to provide insight into pathological plasticity phenomena and, more broadly, into the mechanisms of brain adaptation to environmental stimuli.
