Top Notch article on epilepsy and anti-epileptic drugs (AED). This article pretty much explains in concise detail everything about epilepsy chemical reactions in a method that is understandable by the non-scientist. I highly recomend reading it. Below is a excerpt from the article:
Your doctor has probably explained how seizures occur: Nerve cells in your brain conduct electrical currents. Cells that are chemically or physically unstable may become too active, conduct too much electricity, and activate all the nearby nerves. If you picture a single fire cracker being set off in a fireworks factory, you'll get the picture. First a small explosion goes off, then a few neighboring fire crackers explode, then an ever-spreading wave of activity races through the entire factory.
