Nerves and brain cells in the brain send electric signals to each other to tell the body what to do.

What is epilipsey?

Epilepsy is a disorder of the brain that causes a person to go into seizures repeatedly over that persons lifetime. It is when trauma or some kind of brain damage effects the brain tissue and causes the brain to become excitable and jumpy. This causes signals that are not normal which makes that person go into convulsions, or seizures. If a person has only one seizure, it is not epilepsy.


Can electric shock cause sezuires?

Anything that can interfere with the proper function of the brain can cause seizures and certainly electricity can interfere with the brain. But it seems to me that the brain would have to be involved in the electric shock and in most cases it is not. Sometimes someone will get their head into hot wires, but hard hats are non-conductive and protect you from this.


Does the brain contain electricity?

Yes, but only a tiny, tiny amount.


What is a shunt in the head?

A shunt is inserted in the head to relieve water pressure on the brain.


What is electrocorticography?

Electrocorticography (ECoG) is a neurosurgical technique that involves placing electrodes directly on the surface of the brain to record electrical activity. It is often used in the context of epilepsy surgery to localize brain regions responsible for seizures and to monitor brain function during surgical procedures. ECoG provides higher spatial and temporal resolution compared to non-invasive techniques, making it valuable for both clinical and research purposes. This method can also be employed in brain-computer interface (BCI) applications to facilitate communication and movement for individuals with neurological impairments.
