title: [Advances in anti-epileptic treatment].
abstract: A short commentary about the news on therapy of epilepsies is presented. The author believes that electrical stimulation of cerebellar surface as well as study of antiepileptic drugs levels have given poor or not concluding results. Valproic acid is now the fashion drug, but not a new drug, and being effective enough, it has especific indications, but it is not a solution. It seems that research on receptors, neurotransmitters and neuromodulators can obtain something positive in the fight against epilepsy in a future.
