Description
Summary:Epilepsy is a group of chronic brain diseases characterized by transient central nervous system dysfunction caused by repeated abnormal synchronization of neuronal discharges in the brain, with sudden onset and repeated seizures. Epilepsy has been listed as one of the five major neuropsychiatric diseases of the World Health Organization (WHO). Hereditary epilepsy refers to epilepsy syndromes previously classified as idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGEs), which encompasses several different epilepsy syndromes ranging in clinical severity from relatively benign febrile convulsions (FS) and childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) to the more severe juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) and generalized epileptic seizures with febrile convulsions (GEFS+). This article analyzes the direction of ion channel related to epileptic seizures. It will look forward to the future research direction of some of the ion channels related to epileptogenesis.
