Seizure and epilepsy description

An explanation of what epilepsy is, from both a neural and a behavioural point of view.

The video provides a definition of epilepsy and outlines the difference between this disorder and a single seizure. Afterwards, the neural abnormal substrate of epilepsy is dealt with. Some criteria are also highlighted useful to make a distinction among different typologies of epileptic syndromes and understand their nature. The video ends with a brief description of some of the major symptoms of a disorder characterized by seizures.
