Season 2, Episode 18: Circuitry Part 2 - Brain

On this episode, we continue our exploration of the body’s circuitry moving from the heart and its circuitry disruptions causing arrhythmias to the brain where circuitry disruptions cause seizures. Maybe you’ve witnessed a seizure in a family member or friend, or you’ve seen them portrayed on TV or in a movie like the Paul Muni classic, “The Last Angry Man.” Whatever your exposure, your understanding is likely more informed by fiction than by fact. Thought for millennia to represent demonic possession causing its victims to be shunned and feared, seizures today are well understood, successfully treated and in some cases cured.
