Question

Treatment of epilepsy is directed at thickening the meninges to dampen brain electrical activity. stabilizing overexcited nerve membranes. blocking peripheral nerve terminals. blocking the transmission of nerve impulses into the brain.

Answer 1

Treatment of epilepsy is directed at stabilizing overexcited nerve membranes.

Explanation:

Epilepsy is a disease whose cause is unknown, but it occurs as the nerves get too excited in the brain due to some unknown cause, and causes the centers to conduct the nerve impulses restlessly, and gets in a tetani mode, which is epilepsy. The patient presents with idiopathic seizures and that too, aggravated by stress, tension etc.  

Antiepileptic drugs like phenytoin sodium causes the change in sodium channels and pumps which releases the concentration difference on each side of the neural membrane, thereby reducing the potential difference between the two sides. Thereby it stabilizes the nerve membranes.
