Abstract

Epilepsia and stroke are the most cause of death linked to neurological field in Brazil and worldwide. This project is inserted in Brazilian Institute of Neurosciences and Neurotechnology and its objective is to use several strategies to identify susceptibility genes for these two conditions.
