Abstract

Researchers at St Vincent's Hospital, Victoria, Australia, measured cortical excitability using transcranial magnetic stimulation in 157 patients with epilepsy (95 generalized and 62 focal) and their asymptomatic siblings and results were compared to those of 12 controls and 20 of their siblings.
