摘要: Epilepsy is a dynamic disease of neuronal networks. To understand how epileptic seizures occur, it necessary to take into account that the brain subjects able function in two very distinct modes: normal state and characterized by abnormal oscillations, i.e., seizures. A main question transition (i.e., bifurcation) from can place. Such transitions do not occur easily due set parameters maintains stability In subjects, however, these are disturbed so threshold for much lower may spontaneously. This essential difference between dynamics an brain. Here we consider, first, aspects networks be maintained epilepsy. Thereafter discuss behavior important systems with respect epilepsy: thalamocortical hippocampal systems. Finally, involved identified clinic analyzed.
