When we think of seizures, the image that often comes to mind is convulsions — a person shaking, jerking, or losing control of their body. To be honest, that image alone is jarring enough to leave ...
Stimulation of certain cerebellar areas could help combat absence seizures. However, what happens at the cellular and molecular level in the brain in this form of epilepsy and how exactly stimulation ...
