Introduction
Epilepsy is the most frequent chronic neurological disorder in children. Recurrent and
unprovoked seizures, which are transitory neurological disorders caused by unregulated
electrical discharges in the brain, characterize epilepsy. Seizures happen when the brain's
aberrant cell firing creates an abrupt shift in cerebral function (Zarzycki et al., 2022). Because
seizure disorders frequently begin in childhood, brain development research is particularly
pertinent to epilepsies. As the technology for diagnosing epilepsy improves, anomalies in brain
development are becoming more common, even in persons who do not acquire epilepsy until
later in life.
Students with epilepsy may struggle in school with reading, writing, and mathematics.
Memory and attention problems, AED side effects, overall decreased cognitive performance, or
absenteeism could all be contributing factors. Teachers can make a variety of adjustments in the
classroom to lessen the impact of these factors on students. A situation in which a teacher was
invigilating on his sixth-period general education algebra class as they were taking an exam. He
suddenly heard a tremendous bang from the rear of the room. When he turned around, he noticed
a pupil laying on the ground, stiffening and jerking her arms and legs. The other students in the
class were plainly perplexed and taken aback by the circumstance, and they had no idea what to
do. Such scenarios are a reason why there is a need to study and find a cure for epilepsy for
school children in Ireland.
Epilepsy research is very difficult. Our understanding of normal brain function, much
alone how brain abnormalities lead to epilepsy, is limited due to the complexity of the brain. To
make matters even more complicated, each variety of epilepsy has its own set of causes and
consequences. This is because seizures, which are the most common sign of epilepsy, can be
, caused by a variety of different types of aberrant brain functions. Because there are hundreds of
methods to trigger seizures in an intact brain, determining the particular mechanisms underlying
any type of epilepsy is a difficult task.
Understanding how brain injuries create seizures and creating new treatments are two
major epilepsy research problems that will likely take a long time and effort to answer. However,
the potential for rapid research development leading to better clinical treatment in the era we are
approaching is unprecedented. Because of scientific developments in health and biology, our
expectations have been (and should be) raised. Scientific discoveries in the lab are increasingly
being applied to people with neurological problems. Our capacity to mix basic science and
clinical research has made this possible (Mooney et al., 2020).
The findings of the study will aid the public health sector in several ways. Using the "Belt
and Road (B&R)" concept, which is a development strategy proposed by Chinese President Xi
Jinping that focuses on connectivity and cooperation between Eurasian countries, primarily the
People's Republic of China, the land-based "Silk Road Economic Belt" (SREB) and the
oceangoing "Maritime Silk Road" (MSR). We may employ the B&R approach to foster
worldwide collaboration through professional exchange and the sharing of epilepsy control
experiences and lessons. Minorities, migrants, and refugees should be more conscious of and
regulate their epilepsy. Strengthening public awareness campaigns and education programs for
non-specialists in epileptology, internal physicians, pediatricians, and general practitioners,
particularly those who work in rural, remote, and economically depressed areas, through all
available channels, the media, and the public health system (Tuohy et al., 2019).
Epilepsy is a serious public health issue. Epilepsy is a type of epilepsy that produces
recurrent seizures in the brain. Seizures cause a person's behavior, thinking, or feelings to change
