Abstract In physiologic terms, epilepsy can be regarded as a periodic and excessive discharge of electrical activity from cerebral neurones that may result in loss of consciousness, involuntary movements, abnormal sensory phenomena,increased autonomic activity, and a variety of psychic disturbances (Gilory and Meyer, 1979).In 1990, Chadwick defined the epileptic seizure as a brief and usually unprovoked stereotyped disturbance of behaviour, emotion, motor function, or sensation which on clinical evidence results from cortical ncuronal discharge. |
