Epilepsy

Aepilepsyit is a neurological disease that occurs in many ways  and does not always involve a characteristic convulsive crisis. They are often fast  and express themselves only in one limb or side of the body. Other times  there is only a fixed gaze, or a movement of the mouth or face. There may also be seizures during sleep, or during periods that are not observed by anyone.

In epilepsy, one set of neurons is defective. It may be due to acongenital disease(some disorder already present at birth), oracquired, such as trauma, or evengenetic diseaseswhich at a certain age begins to manifest itself.

These defective neurons emit electrical signals capable of causing a part of the body to contract (or the whole body at the same time) or alter consciousness, leading to fainting spells and sudden falls.
