Abstract

This article represents a synthesis of presentations made by the authors during a scientific meeting held in London on 7 June 2010 and organized by GlaxoSmithKline. Each speaker produced a short précis of his lecture to answer a specific question, resulting in an overview of what we know about the relevance of the mechanisms of action of antiepileptic drugs in determining appropriate combination therapies for the treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy.
