Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder, which mainly affects the Human brain. It is also known as seizure disorder with a wide range of seizure types. There is no age limit for the occurrence of Epilepsy. It is diagnosed only when the person is getting seizure for more than once. One of the most important cause of Epilepsy is stroke.
The unbalanced electrical activity of neurons in the Brain causes seizures. In worldwide, 50 million people have Epilepsy. Approximately 70% of people with epilepsy respond to treatment. Currently Anti-epileptic drugs are available for the control of seizures. 600,000 people has epilepsy in the UK. Everyday 87 people are diagnosed for Epilepsy in the UK. Only 48% people are free from Epilepsy in the UK. Parents or siblings of epilepsy people are more prone to get Epilepsy.

Session 01: Neurological Disorder
Neurological disorder deals with brain, spine and the nervous system connects them. These disorder affects the central and peripheral nervous system. Some of the Neurological Disorders are Epilepsy, Alzheimer disease and other dementias as well as less familiar ones such as frontotemporal dementia. Cerebrovascular disease includes stroke and migraine. It also includes headache disorders, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, neuroinfections, brain tumours, traumatic disorders of the nervous system due to Brain injury, and neurological disorders because of malnutrition.

Session 02: Pathophysiology
Paroxysmal discharges from groups of neurons are the major cause of seizures, which may due to excessive excitation or loss of inhibition. The synapse is the key unit of neurotransmission and Ion channels are the fundamental components of synapses. The occurrence of seizures leads to malfunction of ion channels. This comes under Neurocytology. CNS infection can be a life-threatening condition, especially for children with weakened immune systems.

Session 03: Phenomenology
Seizure Semiology is a tool which is simple and cost effective that allows in the localization of symptomatogenic zone. Neurobiology is the study of both Biology and Neuroscience. As part of simple partial seizures, they often manifest in the fully awake state. They are associated to different degrees of disturbed consciousness. The beginning symptom leads to classic seizure or impairment of consciousness are referred to as Epileptic aura.

Session 05: Etiology of Epilepsy
Congenital malformation is major risk in children of mothers with epilepsy. Traumatic injury due to accidents can cause Epilepsy. Brain conditions that causes Epilepsy are brain tumours and stroke. The leading cause of epilepsy is stroke for people with age group more than 35. A mutation in a person’s genes can put him or her at risk of developing epilepsy. Often, these are the genes that control the excitability of nerve cells (neurons) in the brain. Around 40 percent of epilepsy is due to Genetic predisposition.

Session 06: Inborn Errors of Metabolism
Seizures are the major presenting feature of an inborn error of metabolism. The major symptom includes reduced level of consciousness in a child with an organic acidaemia or urea cycle defect. Intake of more fructose foods leads to damage of liver and kidney. Hereditary fructose intolerance results in seizures, coma, and death from kidney and liver failure. Excess isovaleric acid in blood results in isovaleric acidemia which affects the brain and nervous system.

Session 07: Major Types
Seizure starts in one side of the brain is called focal onset. It is also known as focal seizure or partial seizure. Sometimes seizure affects the whole brain. It is known as secondary generalization. Generalized tonic-clonic seizure is also called as Grand-mal seizure which is caused by abnormal electrical activity of the brain. Febrile seizures are most common in 12-18 months kids during a fever. Normally seizure lasts for few minutes and accompanied by a fever.

Session 08: Epilepsy Therapeutics
In United States, new technology is used, that is Vagus nerve stimulation. Recently Europe and some other countries are using deep brain stimulation of anterior thalamus for Partial epilepsy. Anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) plays a major role in the treatment of epilepsy. Correct medication can stop people having seizures up to 70%. AED doesn’t help once the seizure has started that is they can stop seizures from happening. In some children, epileptic seizures can be reduced by cannabidiol which is nonpsychoactive component of marijuana.

Session 09: Epilepsy syndromes
Severe myoclonic epilepsy of infancy is known as dravet syndrome. It is a type of epilepsy triggered by fever. Panayiotopoulos syndrome occurs in normal children called idiopathic epilepsy. Lennox-gastaut syndrome is a form of severe epilepsy that is characterized by multiple seizures and intellectual disability, usually between ages 3 and 5. Landau Kleffner syndrome is also childhood disorder. It is characterized by the loss of language comprehension and verbal expression in with severely abnormal electroencephalographic (EEG) findings during sleep and clinical seizures.

Session 10: Genetic Epilepsies
The Genetic mutations which causes dysfunction in both ligand and voltage-gated ion channels results in different types of epilepsy. Thus, ion channels are important players in genetic epilepsies. Several ion channel genes have Epileptogenic mutations and can be considered as channelo- pathies. Symptomatic Epilepsy is an Epilepsy due to an injury, infection, congenital brain malformation, a tumour or metabolic disorder.

Session 11: Disorders of Epilepsy
Seizures are caused by abnormal electrical activity of the Brain. If he is getting frequent seizures, then it is said to be as Epilepsy. Neurologist describes about the Diagnosis and Treatment of these Disorders. Epilepsy Syndrome is a factor that influences Seizure. Some of the cognitive complaints are Mental Slowness, Memory Deficits and Attention Deficits. Seizures causes rapid drop in pressure and results in low blood sugar levels.

Session 12: Prevention and Management
The Ketogenic diet helps in the treatment of Epilepsy. Maintaining proper diet with all Vitamin supplements can reduce the risk of Epilepsy. Avoid using alcohols and drugs and get plenty of sleep during nights. Anticonvulsants are pharmacological agents used in the treatment of epilepsy. Intravenous immunoglobulin treatment represents a best approach and its good results has important implications for epilepsy treatment.

Session 13: Dynamic Disease
An implantable device predicts seizures occurrence and gives a stimulus to stop it. To check viability of these devices, it brings experts together in epilepsy, bio-engineering and dynamical system theory. In the improvement of epileptic systems, we include the topics like seizure prediction, neural synchronization, wave phenomena in excitable media, and the control of neural dynamics using electrical stimuli.

Session 14: Advanced Diagnosis
Patients have a diagnosis of Localization Related Epilepsy(LRE), but it is difficult to classify them as lesional or non lesional for treatment reasons. To diagnose the unusual electrical activity in the brain of people with epilepsy, we use an Electroencephalogram(EEG). Small sensors are used in the scalp to pick up the electrical signals, when the brain cells communicate each other. Brain scan can be used to spot the causes of epilepsy like tumours or due to stroke or scarring in the brain. Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) is the main scan used here.

Session 15: Synchrony in Normal and Epileptic brain
Synchronization of local neuronal assemblies is the fundamental brain processes such as perception, learning, and cognition. In Epilepsy, Neuronal Synchronization plays a major role in the formation of the seizures. Neuronal Synchrony can be measured by Linear cross-correlation and mean phase coherence of local field potentials. Epileptic brain is characterized by increased neuronal synchrony. Only prior to seizure the neuronal synchrony may decrease.

Session 16: Cellular basis
Synchronized discharge of cortical neurons are seen in Epilepsy. This synchronized discharge is treated with convulsant such as penicillin, picrotoxin, or bicuculline. Bursting of one cell can excites all the following cells, thus increasing number of cells leads to simultaneous discharge. Burst of Action Potential of presynaptic cell can activate action potential in postsynaptic cell. The Activity of one neuron in the population can produce spontaneous discharge in a neuronal population.

Scope and Importance
Epilepsy is out broken as the major threat in the UK. Epilepsy is the fourth most common neurological disorder. In the UK, 600,000 or one in every 103 people has epilepsy. Every day in the UK, 87 people are diagnosed with epilepsy. Only 52 per cent of people with epilepsy in the UK are seizure-free. It is estimated that 70 per cent could be seizure free with the right treatment.
Around five people in every 100 will have an epileptic seizure at some time in their life. Out of these five people, around four will go on to develop epilepsy. Many people who develop epilepsy below the age of 20 will ‘grow out of it' in adult life.
Why London
London is the largest financial exporter in the world which makes a significant contribution to the UK's balance of payments. London is the capital city of England and the United Kingdom, London is an incredible city which is a fabulous host to tourists. It’s located in the South East of England with a population of 14 million people. London is one of the antiquated cities in the world. The Clock Tower of the Palace of Westminster, known as the Big Ben, is one of London's most famous landmarks. At the time the tower was built in 1858 its clock was the largest in the world. Read more... London's Tower Bridge is one of the most recognizable bridges in the world. London is the most diverse and welcoming city in the world. Studying in a global city has many advantages like Work Opportunities. London is the most diverse area within the UK when it comes to religious beliefs, with the highest percentage of people identifying as Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu or Jewish. In the UK, around nine in 100 men and four in 100 women are dependent on alcohol. Scientists found sewage in London had highest concentration of cocaine. The amount peaks on Friday and Saturday and falls off on a Sunday Around one in 24 people aged between 15 and 34 in the UK admitted taking the drug in the last 12 months. Health officials pointed to evidence that levels of drug abuse in Britain are falling. Many Epilepsy researchers are carried out in London.There are around 15 Universities in and around London which are working in the field of Brain issue and more than 60 college’s works for Neuroscience. Around 1000 neurologist, therapist and neurosurgeons are working only on cerebrum issue in London.
Drugs for Epilepsy:
Epilepsy is one of the most common serious disorders of the brain, affecting about 50 million people worldwide. Epilepsy accounts for 1% of the global burden of disease. 80% of the burden of epilepsy is in the developing world, where in some areas 80–90% of people with epilepsy receive no treatment at all. It is imperative to recognize that epilepsy consists of more than seizures for the affected individual and immediate effects on his or her family.
