Which part of the body is affected by epilepsy?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Brain.

  • Epilepsy is a disorder of the brain characterized by repeated seizures.
  • A seizure is usually defined as a sudden alteration of behavior due to a temporary change in the electrical functioning of the brain. 
  • In epilepsy the brain's electrical rhythms have a tendency to become imbalanced, resulting in recurrent seizures.
  • Epilepsy is usually diagnosed after a person has had at least two seizures that were not caused by some known medical condition, such as alcohol withdrawal or extremely low blood sugar.
