In the article "Epilepsy marked by neural 'hub' network" is a very interesting article. In the article it explains that an increase in the number of neurons,(hubs), can lead to seizures. Having these seizures are sometimes the cause of the Epilepsy disease. Researchers from UC Irvine researched that these "hubs" are formed in the hippocampus of the brain during the transition from a healthy brain, to an epileptic one. The increase in the number of these hubs circulate and amplify signals and makes the brain overwhelmed. This is what causes seizures.
In my opinion this article is very interesting. It is full of information and this can be a huge problem in our society. With todays technology, our scientists can research our daily life's diseases such as Epilepsy. Epilepsy is an awful disease and with these hubs being active in our brain, we need a way to stop them. That is what the hard part is.
