About

    Seizures are a common neurological disorder characterized by sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbances in the brain that can cause a variety of symptoms, including convulsions, loss of consciousness, and sensory disturbances. Seizures can be caused by a range of factors, such as epilepsy, head injuries, infections, or genetic factors. Research in this area focuses on understanding the mechanisms underlying seizures, developing better diagnostic tools and treatments, and improving the quality of life for individuals with seizure disorders. This research involves studying brain activity, genetics, neuroimaging, and various treatment options such as medications, surgeries, and lifestyle interventions.
