[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 5556, member: 1498"] This isn't just for people who are diagnosed with seizures. This finding explains how seizures in a certain part of the brain can manifest in ways that are often labeled "mental illness". The woman has epilepsy, yes. But she wasn't having a natural seizure, she had a specific part of her brain electronically stimulated (artificial seizure) by the doctors. Theoretically, if any of us had that part of our brain stimulated (through artificial or natural seizure activity) we would have the same reaction. Someone who always had the sensations like that woman has could quite possibly have some sort of brain defect in that same part of the brain. This is a clear example of how brain activity controls our thoughts and perceptions. We have to wonder what area of the brain is being activated and why when our children mispercieve what's going on in the world. I did a quick check of Dr. Arzy. His work seems to be focused on where the sense of self is located in the brain. [/QUOTE]
