Question 3

Question
Which of the following statements regarding antiepileptic drugs (AED) are correct?
Answer
  • The “new generation” AEDs (marketed since 1990) significantly reduced pharmacoresistance.
  • AEDs with multiple molecular targets are more efficient.
  • AEDs with multiple molecular targets have more side-effects.

Question 4

Question
Which of the following statements is correct?
Answer

Question 5

Question
Which of the following statements is correct?
Answer
  • Idiopathic epilepsies commonly have a single-gene inheritance.
  • Symptomatic epilepsies never have a genetic background.
  • Rolando-epilepsy of childhood is a symptomatic epilepsy syndrome.

  • 3. The cerebellum is involved in timing.
  • 4. The cerebellum is a likely place where internal models for sensory motor control are build.
  • 5. The cerebellum is involved in feedback (reactive) but not feedforward (predictive) motor control.

Question 12

Question
Which of the following statements is correct?
Answer
  • 1. Post-stroke lesions typically cause absence seizures.
  • 2. Absence seizures indicate idiopathic generalised epilepsy.
  • 3. Every first generalised convulsive seizure needs initiation of antiepileptic drug treatment.
