Epilepsy is a brain disorder involving repeated and spontaneous seizures. Epilepsy is also called seizure disorder. A seizure occurs when a surge of electrical activity affects part of the brain. Seizures can have many symptoms and can last from a few seconds to several minutes. They are typically characterized by a loss of consciousness and convulsions. Embryonic stem cells can contribute to brain tissue regeneration and can reduce the frequency and severity of seizures, according to a study presented to the European Congress on Epileptology in Vienna, Austria.
