[The role of adenosine cyclic monophosphate (c-AMP) in the pathogenesis of epilepsy and the mechanism of the action of anti-epileptic drugs].

Modern views on the role of c-AMP and c-CMP in the regulation of metabolism and function of the neuron and synaptic transmission are presented. A hypothesis is put forward of the participation of these cyclic nucleotides in the control of epileptogenic focus through modulation of the resting potential of the neuron.
