Epilepsy is the most prevalent neurological disorder in humans. About 50 million people worldwide have epilepsy (Lima et al., 2009), and nearly two out of every three new cases are discovered in developing countries. More than two million people in the

Epilepsy is characterized by recurrent seizures (Blume et al., 2001). Seizures are defined as sudden changes in the electrical functioning of the brain, resulting in altered behaviours, such as losing consciousness, jerky movements, temporarily loss of breath and memory loss. These usually happen in the cortex, or outside rim of the brain.
Epilepsy may develop because of an abnormality in brain wiring, an imbalance
