Epilepsy: A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of paroxysmal brain dysfunction due to a sudden, disorderly, and excessive neuronal discharge. Epilepsy classification systems are generally based upon: (1) clinical features of the seizure episodes (e.g., motor seizure), (2) etiology (e.g., post-traumatic), (3) anatomic site of seizure origin (e.g., frontal lobe seizure), (4) tendency to spread to other structures in the brain, and (5) temporal patterns (e.g., nocturnal epilepsy). (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p313)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The effects of metoprine, an inhibitor of histamine N-methyltransferase, on open field activity and brain regional histamine (HA) content were examined in rats with mixed, absence and audiogenic, epilepsy (WAG/Rij-AGS), rats with audiogenic epilepsy (Wistar-AGS) and in non-epileptic control rats (Wistar-nAGS)."3.78Metoprine induced behavioral modifications and brain regional histamine increase in WAG/Rij and Wistar rats. ( Bazyan, AS; Birioukova, LM; Kuznetsova, GD; Midzyanovskaya, IS; Samotaeva, IS; Tuomisto, L, 2012)
"A treatment with valproic acid was started, obtaining control of the neurological disease."1.43Recurrent seizures during acute acquired toxoplasmosis in an immunocompetent traveller returning from Africa. ( Bassetti, M; Beltrame, A; Buonfrate, D; Crichiutti, G; Meroni, V; Venturini, S, 2016)
