  • Method for the Mapping of the Epileptogenic Focus in the Pre-Surgical Evaluation of Patients with Intractable Epilepsy
    Publication number: 20070218084
    Abstract: A method for functionally identifying an epileptogenic focus in pre-surgical evaluation in affected subjects with intractable epilepsy is described, the method including the delivery of an effective dose of a botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) to a presumptive epileptogenic focus in the disease-compromised central nervous system of a mammal, under conditions whereby the effective dose of the botulinum neurotoxin interacts with the soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor-attachment receptor (SNARE) proteins, thus impairing neurotransmission.
