2-Minute Neuroscience: Epilepsy

Good Evening,

We know that epilepsy has a genome 🧬 EPIGEN21-23 and that this is an inherited hereditary disorder that is based on a mutation which is a permanent change in the genetic material. Your normal diploid contains 2 complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. A genome is a haploid set of chromosomes that causes disorders such as Epilepsy. Chromosomal disorders are called ‘Non-Disjunction’ causing an unequal distribution of chromosomes between 2 resulting cells. We know that Downs Syndrome is the aberration in which chromosome 21 has 3 copies instead of 2. Epilepsy is Epigen21-23 and Autism and Asperger’s have chromosomes genetic makeup with SHANK3 or MECP2 gene. Autism and Asperger’s are not the same syndrome and Asperger’s Syndrome does not have epilepsy traits either. Our entire family was screened for Epilepsy and not a single person was positive yet it was documented incorrectly by a Doctor whom then sent a spiral of incorrect documentation and diagnostics that potentially could have been fatal. A Dominant Genes produce abnormal traits and recessive do not unless both parents have the gene and pass it over to the offspring. The alleles that may remain dormant for preceding decades in a recessive status may then arise if the Locus during meiosis is more dominant for what it’s worth.

My son had a first attack when he was 9 months. Atopic=reason unknown, declared by doctors after multiple EEG and 2 MRIs.
One thing doctors were checking- he didn't cry immediately after birth. The deep breath required in the first place after that first cry opens up the brain cells and lungs is missed by him for few minutes He didn't cry until the nurse held him upside down and heavily patted on his back.

Well done! Thanks for this video.

Please can you explain
2 Seizures in hour....
I had 2 3 weeks ago....and all I am reading in Research
Is ....I am going to Die
Now
I know I am not.....but
The girl giving
Me my scan in Belfast..
Told me the amount of
20 somethings
In there clinic is unreal..
Mainly Sports people..
Can you please
Please
Explain.....to us all especially in Belfast Ireland
What is going on..
My own Blood is Pure,
It could be an old injury for me
But for others ..
It's the Plastic put around
Lipids..
Oh thats just my own junior conclusion

In other words we have no idea😂

Thank you for this. It is most interesting, I appreciate it.

I’m curious would you consider focal epilepsy to be a general diagnosis for seizures or is this just a type of seizure that those with epilepsy have?

I was born with Epilepsy and it is a nightmare I would not wish on my worst enemy. Family members tell me that I am scatterbrained. Like in a way that I see and hear what I want to say, but it gets jumbled up and lost in translation. I wonder if that is part of being Epileptic.

Good to see this channel makes all sorts of chronic neuro diseases or development issues information videos. Also can you do a video about Acquired Brain Injury and Traumatic Brain Injury?

Living with epilepsy sure is a hellish thing to go through. Got it since a fall down the stairs at age of 2,5 years old. At 5 or 6 I started seeing aura's and thought it was just spots you see when looking into bright lights.. At age 12 I started having convulsion seizures during the summer times and that got me to a doctor. Yeara of medication did good but not enough. Basically I had 8 to 9 noticeable aura seizures a day, but all kinds of unnoticed seizures happening all day long without knowing it. So I basically had seizures 24/7 which explained my chronic exhaustion and headaches. When I was 19 they found that out during a test week where a special EEG pack was placed on my brain to find the true trigger cause. I had almost no noticeable attacks that whole week (but they did pick up all the unnoticeable ones for me that went on 24/7) until the night before surgery where I had the most heaviest convulsive attack in my life. After the doctors located the trigger they removed it carefully with brain surgery and since then I am seizure free.

Just to think an innocent fall can cause such a hellish chronic disease is absolute horrible. So now the seizures are gone (which is great) I still do suffer from the consequences of Acquired Brain Injury and Traumatic Brain injury due to that fall down the stairs and all the seizures back then, the surgery played a small part into that as well. Nowadays I have to deal with jerkish people who call me lazy while I am actually suffering from sleep issues, neurofatigue and I can't do much work anymore. Work already was tough for me but it became a lot more harder. I want more than I can do and that is frustrating.

And I feel with all the epilepsy patients out there. It's not easy and it asks a lot of your body. I hope all of you can find the care you need to hopefully get the seizures under control or gone entirely

Great work is done by you

You're the best bro 🤍

I had seizures since I was 13 months old and still have them now

Mine is mostly limb jerking and legs giving way and falling on my knees first major was in swimming pool body jumped out water and I sank doctors believed me then else they just said it my nerves

I started having seizures when I was 16, I've had it for 15 years. I was first told that if I took my medication for a year, this would all go away. But I started having mood swings and for years wasn't consistent in my medications. I am now aware when I'm having auras (the little triggers that happen prior, like loss of focus, stress, long pauses in conversations, staring in emptiness, etc.), what's the cause/triggers for each episode, and when to stop doing everything and go to sleep or eat some proteins.

what it is is basically when you picture your brain as a computer and it froze and spam just keeps coming up. Sometimes your conscious and subconscious don't catch up. Basically, people who are epileptic are not for the high life, club life and workaholics. Many can't drive and have to take public transit. They also can't live on their own because they need someone who can record their convulsions and remind them of medications. I'm talking only about grand mal or tonic clonic seizures. People who just started having them will not be aware of it but people who have it for years will be aware of how to control or how to live with it.

This video delivery etc is fantastic!

I’d appreciate any input on my situation:

I recently have been having a lot of convulsions for the last eight months where I lose control of parts of my body like my head, torso or arm, and have sudden jerking movements, but I’m completely aware and can have full cognitive function. It started where I had to be hospitalized for having what seemed to be 26 seizure type symptoms in a day. I always feel a pain in the right side of my brain, and a tingling sensation in my muscles before they involuntary convulse. I have no brain damage from the incidents, and the seizure medication makes it worse. It’s happening about five or six times a day now and can last for up to three hours an episode. Would this be considered a form of seizing even though I’m aware of it?
If anyone has an opinion on this I’d appreciate the input! I’m really confused and it’s exhausting, and I’ve reached the extent of my ability to try and understand my situation. Thanks

My dog has had two seizures in the past 24 hours. This really helped my understanding of what’s going on. Thanks!

Hi everyone I really need help,I’ve had seizures for 3 years so far and I started at 13 they don’t know what’s causing them every doctor has their own theory but my EEG have come back okay but they did the tests when I’m normal and not having a seizure.I really want them to carry out the same tests but when I’m actually having one so they can see what’s going on in my brain.They keep asking for someone to video one but I live in a care home so they aren’t able to do that,when I have seizures I feel little things buzzing around in my head but I don’t know what they are I really need help before I get the wrong diagnosis

You're neuron's were upside down @50 sec. - sorry, great videos so far :)

great presentation. Thank you.

It's a great channel, keep doing videos, they are amazing!

Keep continuing the great work. :)

Love this channel
