Abstract

Experimental studies on the evolution of the paroxysmal synchronization of epileptic type during the ontogenetic development of the mammalian brain from birth to adulthood have been performed in the past 20 years by Bishop (1950), Passouant et al. (1960), Volanschi (1960 a, b), Volanschi et al. (1961), Caveness et al. (1962), Purpura (1962), Crighel et al. (1965), Crighel (1971), Prince and Gutnick (1971).
