Epilepsy Journal

Epilepsy Journal (ELJ), a broad-based journal was founded on two key tenets: To publish the most exciting researches with respect to the subjects of Brain Epilepsy. Secondly, to provide a rapid turn-around time possible for reviewing and publishing and to disseminate the articles freely for research, teaching and reference purposes.

Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning. Epilepsy Journal (ISSN: 2472-0895) is growing continuously. It is our pleasure to announce that during year 2020, all issues of volume 6 were published online on time and the print issues were also brought out and dispatched within 30 days of publishing the issue online.

People with epilepsy could also be classified into different syndromes supported specific clinical features. These features include the age at which seizures begin, the seizure types, and EEG findings, among others. Identifying an epilepsy syndrome is beneficial because it helps determine the underlying causes also as deciding what anti-seizure medication should be tried. Epilepsy syndromes are more commonly diagnosed in infants and youngsters. Some samples of epilepsy syndromes include benign rolandic epilepsy (2.8 per 100,000), childhood absence epilepsy (0.8 per 100,000) and juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (0.7 per 100,000).[3] Severe syndromes with diffuse brain dysfunction caused, a minimum of partly, by some aspect of epilepsy, also are mentioned as epileptic encephalopathies. These are related to frequent seizures that are immune to treatment and severe cognitive dysfunction, as an example Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and West syndrome.

Photosensitive epilepsy (PSE) may be a sort of epilepsy during which seizures are triggered by visual stimuli that form patterns in time or space, like flashing lights; bold, regular patterns; or regular moving patterns.

 PSE affects approximately one in 4,000 people (5% of these with epilepsy).

Benign Rolandic epilepsy or benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (BCECTS) is that the most typical epilepsy

Syndrome in childhood. Most kids will outgrow the syndrome (it starts around the age of 3–13 with a peak around 8–9 years and stops around age 14–18), hence the label benign. The seizures, sometimes mentioned as sylvian seizures, start around the fissure of Rolando of the brain (also called the centrotemporal area, located around the Rolandic fissure, after Luigi Rolando)
