"Epilepsy is a chronic disorder, the hallmark of which is recurrent, unprovoked seizures (...) The human brain is the source of human epilepsy. Although the symptoms of a seizure may affect any part of the body, the electrical events that produce the symptoms occur in the brain. The location of that event, how it spreads and how much of the brain is affected, and how long it lasts all have profound effects. These factors determine the character of a seizure and its impact on the individual. Essentially, anything the brain can do, it can do in the form of a seizure." (Sirven, 2014)

ReplyDeleteDuring epilepsy, are the electrical impulses in the brain always increased or can they be slower than normal and still have an epileptic effect?
