Extract

Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Epilepsy: Neuroimaging Techniques (2nd Edition). Rubin I. Kuzniecky and Graeme D. Jackson (Eds.). 2005. New York: Elsevier. 431 pp., $149.95 (HB).

Readers of JINS are aware that the epilepsies are common, costly, and complex. Among the more common comorbidities are cognitive and neuropsychiatric disorders. The potential etiologies of these disorders include factors related to the cause, course, and treatment of the epilepsy, which may exert their effects, at least in part, through alterations in brain structure, metabolism, blood flow, and other dimensions of brain integrity. These effects can be captured and quantified by various neuroimaging techniques and greater familiarity with the diversity of neuroimaging approaches to epilepsy may open a variety of avenues of investigation.
