| Abstract | Focal cooling of the brain has the potential to terminate epileptic discharges. Therefore, in the present report, we review our past studies and discuss the future perspectives of brain cooling as a potential therapy for intractable epilepsy. The experiments were performed on Sprague-Dawley rats under halothane anesthesia. After craniotomy, the cooling device (Peltier chip) was placed on the cortical surface or inserted in the hippocampus. Kainic acid was then injected into either the cortex or hippocampus to provoke epileptiform discharges (EDs). Cortical cooling was also applied in patients with intractable epilepsy. The EDs decreased during either cortical or hippocampal cooling (20–25 °C) in rats. The EDs diminished, and neurotransmitters, such as glutamate, were observed to decrease during cooling in epileptic patients. Both the effectiveness and safety of focal cooling for intractable epilepsy were demonstrated. Based on these data, developments of implantable focal cooling device have been promoted. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
