It's actually kind of interesting......

You DO have to register with Medscape FIRST tho....

Apparently, there is a new medicine in the works, Retigabine, that works on potassium channels........it evidently helps to open them up better.....

If the potassium channels are blocked, or de-polarized, seizures can occur......this presentation is a little boring, but still interesting at the same time.....

3 different presenters from 3 different places in the world. Having done research on this. Neat, I think.

Thanks for fixing the link.
I was able to follow most of it.. but I agree it is very dry information.
Again drug related....
