Epilepsy is the disesae. Which areas of the brain are affected by epilpesy? What type of neurotransmitters are altered in this epilepsy? Provide neurophysiological evidence. Please talk about voltage gated K+, Na+, Ca++ and ligand channels. Tell if any of them are affected. if affected what is the consequence?Which ion channels are affected?
