Özet

Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME), which has been attributed to the dysfunction of cortico-thalamic pathway, has been considered to be one of the system epilepsies. However, electrophysiological and functional neuroimaging techniques have revealed the functional involvement of various parts of the central nervous system, also. Here, we aimed to analyze the role of brainstem circuits in JME by using the blink reflex recovery cycle (BRrc).
