"Clinical Neuroscience / Ideggyógyászati Szemle". Prof.
Péter Rajna is at present the Editor-in-Chief. Full-length papers
in the field of epileptology and related fields can be published

of MEL news and affairs, postgradual education and so on.
Information materials were distributed countrywide as follows:
- A new book of Prof. Péter Halász (interesting epilepsy case reports
which suggest multidi-mensionality of the disease and the need for
comprehensive care)
- Video-EEG teaching material (Epileptic Seizures) by Dr. Béla
Clemens (video casettes and CD for education at all levels (sponsored
by a pharmaceutical firm).
- Booklets for patient education (Childhood epilepsy, Epilepsy
and Pregnancy), and other sorts of patient education, mainly sponsored
by pharmaceutical firms. EPILAP (edited by MESZ, that is the Hungarian
Association of Epileptic Patients) is a monthly journal sponsored
by firms.
