(From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p313),CSP: brain disorder characterized by recurring excessive neuronal discharge, exhibited by transient episodes of motor, sensory, or psychic dysfunction, with or without unconsciousness or convulsive movements.,NCI: A group of disorders marked by problems in the normal functioning of the brain.
