海报摘要

Epilepsy or seizure disorder is a chronic illness caused by the electrical imbalance in brain which is ranked as the fourth most common neurodegenerative disorder. It is also noted that men are more prone than women because they are greatly exposed to factors like brain damage, head trauma and alcohol consumption. The experimental model of epilepsy is studied using the limbic system, the hippocampus, one of the most prevalent site of focal seizures which becomes hyper excitable and recently it has been discovered that the excitatory neurons stimulate the inhibitory neurons to inhibit the dentate granule cells. This mechanism of hyper excitability has been proven to co-exist in the brain of a person suffering from epilepsy. If the seizures are consequences of any known genetic defect, it is termed as genetic epilepsy. Each of these genes plays a significant role in various aspects of epilepsy.
