Abstract:
An epileptic seizure can be induced by higher brain function or mental processes associated with emotion. The precipitation involves verbal, non-verbal and specific thinking with emotion. Some of these patients have symptomatic and focal epilepsies. Others were idiopathic epilepsies, where the hyperexcitable regions and systems provoked by some specific stimuli may produce epileptic seizures that results in symmetrical, asymmetrical, or even localized clinical manifestations. The understanding of precipitation of seizures by higher brain function may contribute to understanding of epileptogenesis and nosology of epilepsies.
