MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Epilepsy is a very common condition in the brain that causes seizures. Brain cells communicate with each other through electrical signals. Seizures occur when brain cells have a burst of abnormal electrical activity. This repeated activity is called epilepsy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Epilepsy is a central nervous system (neurological) disorder in which brain activity becomes abnormal, causing seizures or periods of unusual behavior, sensations and sometimes loss of awareness. Anyone can develop epilepsy. Epilepsy affects both males and females of all races, ethnic backgrounds and ages.

Detailed explanation-3: -The core physiologic feature of epileptic seizures is hyperexcitability of CNS neurons. When a sufficient number of neurons synchronously depolarize and generate action potentials, a seizure begins.
