Physics of the Brain: Interaction of the Optical-Fiber-Guided Multi-Ultraviolet-Photon Beams with the Epilepsy Topion, (the Seizure Onset Area)

A novel method for the possible prevention of epileptic seizures is proposed, based on the multi-ultraviolet-photon beam interaction\footnote{ V. Stefan, B. I. Cohen, C.

It is hypothesized that epilepsy is a chaotic-dynamics phenomenon: small electrical changes in the epilepsy-topion lead, (within the 10s of milliseconds), to the onset of chaos, (seizure---excessive electrical discharge), and subsequent cascading into adjacent areas.\footnote{ H.P. Zaveri et al., Localization-related epilepsy exhibits significant connectivity away from the seizure-onset area, Neuroreport, 20(9), 891-5, Jun17, 2009.\par } The ultraviolet photons may control the imbalance of sodium and potassium ions and, consequently, may prove to be efficient in the prevention of epileptic seizures.
