title: Contribution of pregnan steroid Althesin to the pathophysiology of epilepsy.
abstract: The original study with Althesin in the development of epilepsy was carried out in nine patients. EEG and SEEG records show that sensitivity to Althesin, which is a mixture of pregnandiol and pregnan acetate, precursors of sexual hormones, raises in the direction to the oldest brain formations. A physiological substance in provoking epilepsy was discovered.
