The neurologist said my EEG showed epileptiform activity. What is this?
When someone has an epileptic seizure their brain activity changes. This is sometimes called epileptiform activity. Identifying exactly where in the brain this activity is happening can help your neurologist to tell what type of epilepsy you have. In some people the epileptiform activity is in just one part of the brain (partial epilepsy). In others the activity is in all areas of the brain (generalised epilepsy).
