Epilepsy

Abstract: 5 pages in length. The telltale signs are unmistakable: The eyes grow wide and bulging, the limbs tense and turn rigid, and soon after, the body begins a series of uncontrollable muscular convulsions for anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes. Epileptic seizures and their causes are a frustrating condition in the field of human medicine. In non-technical terms, epilepsy is a short circuit in the brain. In technical terms, it is a series of misfires of the neurosynaptic function that ultimately sends confused signals to the body, thus creating the uncontrolled fits. Bibliography lists 7 sources. Two graphs included.
