Like lions, they smell the difference…
Like hawks, they sweep down on you…
And like hyenas, they laugh and eat your heart out.
Laughter as effective as cocaine?

Yup. A comic cartoon fires up the same brain center as a shot of cocaine, researchers report.

Where’s the funding? Epilepsy as an orphan.

Here are the facts, unhappy though they may be…
Epilepsy is the 4th most common neurological problem – only migraine, stroke, and Alzheimer’s disease occur more frequently.
