INHIBITORY SEIZURES.

An encyclopedia entry for "inhibitory seizures" is presented. It refers to seizures that cause a clinical loss of function such as aphasia, blindness, amnesia, deafness, neglect, atonia and numbness. The reproduction of the mechanism of inhibition of motor function by a seizure in the somatomotor, primary, or supplementary sensorimotor areas, or in negative motor areas during electrical simulation studies of the brain, is noted.
