Seizure onset research focuses on understanding the mechanisms that trigger seizures in individuals with epilepsy. This area of study involves examining the underlying neural networks, genetic factors, and environmental influences that contribute to the onset of seizures. Researchers aim to identify potential biomarkers or predictors of seizure onset in order to develop more effective treatments and interventions for epilepsy. Additionally, this research may also explore ways to prevent or predict seizures before they occur in individuals with epilepsy.
