Understanding Seizures and Epilepsy: Definitions and Clinical Implications

Seizures are the clinical manifestation resulting from abnormal synchronization and excessive excitation of cortical neurons, leading to a variety of neurological symptoms. Epilepsy, on the other hand, is characterized by a recurrent tendency towards seizures that occur without provocation by acute systemic or neurological insults. This article explores these definitions, their clinical significance, and the underlying mechanisms involved in seizures and epilepsy to enhance understanding and awareness of these neurological conditions.
