Epilepsy is a disorder that is due to one or more chronic conditions in the body. It is characterized by disturbed nerve cell activity in the brain. This leads to recurrent seizures. Seizures may occur due to brain trauma that leads to disturbed and uncontrolled nerve activity in the brain. It is important to differentiate between epilepsy and seizure.
Seizure is a condition that occurs due to excessive and uncontrolled neuronal activity in the brain. The uncontrolled neuron activity can be generalized or localized to one area of the brain. For example, it can be localized just to the area that perceives the touch sensation. Whether it is generalized or localized, the excessive neuronal activity lead to the seizure. The type of seizure will depend on the area of the brain
Mechanisms of Seizure Development
Normally there exists a balance between the excitation and inhibition of neurons in the CNS. Neuronal activity is regulated by acetylcholine (ACH) and gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA)................ Continue
