Localization-related (focal)(partial) idiopathic epilepsy and epileptic syndromes with seizures of localized onset - what does this mean

Localization-related (focal)(partial) idiopathic epilepsy and epileptic syndromes with seizures of localized onset are neurological disorders in which seizures originate from a specific area of the brain, and the cause is unknown. these types of seizures can cause a variety of physical and cognitive symptoms, such as muscle jerks, confusion, and sensory disturbances. treatment for this condition typically includes antiepileptic medications, lifestyle changes, and possibly surgery.

What happens during the disease - localization-related (focal)(partial) idiopathic epilepsy and epileptic syndromes with seizures of localized onset

The pathogenesis of localization-related (focal)(partial) idiopathic epilepsy and epileptic syndromes with seizures of localized onset is thought to be the result of an imbalance in the excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters in the brain, leading to abnormal electrical activity in specific areas of the brain. this results in the localized onset of seizures, as opposed to generalized seizures which are caused by a more widespread imbalance in the brain.
