What is epilepsy? Vaguely have kinda heard of it. Didn't know MRI could detect
Epilepsy is a category of neurological disorders, but the common factor is that they all trip up neuron firing, causing blackouts and seizures. MRI's can detect some of the factors that cause epilepsy, but not all.
I've got epilepsy myself, though a mild case.
You can mess the MRI up if you move too much, so if they've got you in the machine they usually have something to help hold you steady. I never had a problem with claustrophobia myself, so the MRI didn't bother me though I could definitely see how it could affect people.
