and which is a component of over 40 neurological disorders (Aminoff, et al., 2005).

caused by genetics or environmental factors such as pesticides (Meisler and Kearney,
2005). People with epilepsy are more likely to also suffer from migraines, depression,
anxiety, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and autism (Pliplys et al, 2007,
