This book brings to date the reports and conclusions from the Montreal Neurological Institute's clinical, physiological, and neuro-surgical studies of epilepsy, and is, in a sense, a sequal to "Epilepsy and cerebral localization," published in 1941. There is extensive addition of new material on subcortical mechanisms, functional cortical localization, surgical and medical treatment and electroencephalography. The book is illustrated with 8 color plates and 314 black and white illustrations. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)

... Electrical stimulation allows researchers to interrogate the epileptic brain by applying repeated pulses of current and visualizing distributed patterns of evoked responses [9]. Since the pioneering work of Penfield and Jasper in the 1950s [10], high-frequency stimulation (HFS; 50-100 Hz) has been widely used to provoke seizures and map critical functional systems, including motor [11], language [12], memory [13], and limbic circuitry [14,15]. Low-frequency stimulation (LFS), often defined as the delivery of brief current pulses at a frequency < 1-2 Hz, is comparatively under-utilized in the clinical setting [16]. ...
