Neurological Disorders Lesson 4.6 What causes epilepsy?

Do Now: Examine the circuit below. The two red neurons are excitatory and the two blue neurons are inhibitory. What effect would removing the two blue inhibitory neurons have on this circuit’s activity?

Removing Inhibition: The Effect Locally X X

Removing Inhibition: The Effect Distantly X X Local Distant

Can anyone think of a condition caused by abnormal disordered neuronal activity?

Epilepsy Chronic neurological condition that results in unprovoked seizures. Seizures are the changes in behavior caused by disordered abnormal electrical activity in the brain.

Symptoms of Seizure Positive – Acquiring an abnormal behavior – Ex. Jerking an arm Negative – Losing a normal behavior – Ex. Temporary loss of sight Normal VisionLoss of Vision

Symptoms of Seizure Visual Auditory Somatosensory Motor in limbs Motor in face and head

Types of Seizures Partial Seizures – Occur when abnormal electrical activity remains in a limited area of the brain Generalized Seizures – Occur when abnormal electrical activity extends throughout the entire brain

Partial Seizure Originate within a small group of neurons called a seizure focus Start due to loss of inhibitory control Seizure Focus

Partial Seizure: Spread from Seizure Focus Seizure Focus Thalamus

Partial Seizure: Spread from Seizure Focus Seizure Focus Thalamus

Generalized Seizures Originate within the thalamus Start simultaneously in both sides of the brain Thalamus

Measuring Seizures EEG measures the electrical activity of the brain.

Measuring Seizures EEG measures the electrical activity of the brain. Placement of Electrodes – F – Frontal Lobe – T – Temporal Lobe – P – Parietal Lobe – O – Occipital Lobe – C – Motor Cortex Number system – Odd – Left hand side – Even – Right hand side

Measuring Seizures EEG measures the electrical activity of the brain.
