Identifying and Treating Seizures and Epilepsy
A seizure is an abnormal, hypersynchronous discharge of a population of cortical neurons that may be associated with clinical manifestations corresponding to the area of the brain involved. Epilepsy is a disorder of the central nervous system in which symptoms are 2 or more seizures greater than 24 hours apart, not provoked by another cause.
