The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
one of the major causes of seizure and by extension lack of seizure is that ordinarily inhibitory neurons and excitatory neurons are in this kind of push pull that for somebody that doesn't experience seizures puts the brain in balance so they don't have seizures right the inhibitory neurons are suppressing the activity of many neurons so that those many neurons don't get runaway excitation you don't
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

to get to the heart of what a seizure is it is essentially runaway excitation in the brain a small region of the brain becomes especially electrically active and then it spreads out from that fosi that focus of the excitation and it recruits a lot of neurons in a fairly non-specific way creating these seizur like motor patterns in the body and patterns of activity in the brain that can involve engagement from immediate experience and lack of perception sometimes there's Aura there's a whole discussion to be had about seizure and by the way seizure can occur in a lot of different contexts of course it can occur in epilepsy it can occur after a head injury Etc we'll cover seizure in a future episode of this podcast of course
