Abstract<br />

Epilepsy is a neurotic sickness that 1 in 200 people will get. But with epilepsy there isn’t just one set of<br />

symptoms. There are two major groups, cramps and absences. The typical reason epilepsy accurse is<br />

because of the neurotransmitter or the receptors which are too important components in the way our<br />

neurons communicate. This means that if there is too much or too little of one neurotransmitter it can<br />

cause a seizure.<br />

We do have a couple of options when it comes to curing the sickness. Most cases are cured by medicine but<br />

some people do not respond to the medicine that they are given which makes it necessary to operate.<br />

Before the operation we need to determine which parts of the brain have to be tinkered with. Therefore a<br />

series of test are usually run to find out where the origination point of the seizures are.<br />

Epilepsy seems to be a relatively <strong>new</strong>ly discovered sickness which means that we don’t understand<br />

everything about it just yet.<br />
