Yes, I can see how leaky regions may cause seizures...its totally understandable if a part of every cell or almost...has an area that is permeable to sodium regardless of voltage or concentration that action potential would occur randomly and unpredictably causing seizures! However what I don’t understand is how normal people without epilepsy DO NOT just get seizures all the time? Is there something that counter acts the random action potentials produced by the leaky regions?
