Epilepsy is a disorder that briefly interrupts the normal electrical activity of the brain. Normally, neurons, which are cells that carry electrical impulses, form a network allowing communication between the brain and the rest of the body. Neurons "fire" or send electrical impulses toward surrounding cells, stimulating neighboring cells to fire. In people with epilepsy, too many neurons fire at one time, causing an "electrical storm" within the brain, which results in physical changes called seizures.
