Visually sensitive seizures: An updated review by the Epilepsy Foundation
Light flashes, patterns, or color changes can provoke seizures in up to 1 in 4000 persons.
Prevalence may be higher because of selection bias. The Epilepsy Foundation reviewed …

The system epilepsies: a pathophysiological hypothesis
We postulate that “system epilepsies”(SystE) are due to an enduring propensity to generate
seizures of functionally characterized brain systems. Data supporting this hypothesis—that …

Reflex seizures, traits, and epilepsies: from physiology to pathology
Epileptic seizures are generally unpredictable and arise spontaneously. Patients often
report non-specific triggers such as stress or sleep deprivation, but only rarely do seizures …
