Researchers find widespread disruption of brain activity during absence seizures

Scientists believed that absence seizures — the brief loss of consciousness often mistaken for day-dreaming — was caused by a localized disruption of brain activity. A new Yale study finds the entire brain is involved in this common form of childhood epilepsy that causes kids to “blank out” for 10 seconds or more at a time.
