Overview

A seizure is a sudden, uncontrolled burst of abnormal electrical activity in the brain that can cause changes in movement, sensation, awareness, or behavior. Depending on which part of the brain is involved, seizures may produce convulsions, brief lapses of attention, unusual sensations, or altered consciousness. They can result from epilepsy or from other causes such as head injury, infection, stroke, fever, or metabolic disturbances, and their management typically centers on identifying the cause and reducing seizure frequency. This peer-reviewed, open-access research collection addresses seizures and epilepsy from clinical and investigative angles. Published studies have evaluated dexamethasone pulse therapy in refractory childhood seizure disorders, explored deep brain stimulation as a target for epilepsy treatment, and examined the recognition of non-epileptic seizures alongside epilepsy. Additional work has assessed the knowledge and attitudes of primary school teachers toward epilepsy and reviewed genetic polymorphisms in patients with epilepsy. Together these contributions span treatment, neuromodulation, genetics, diagnosis, and community awareness, providing readers with a grounded, evidence-based reference on seizures, their causes, and the approaches used to diagnose and manage them.
