Antiepileptic drugs can eliminate or reduce epileptic seizures in two ways: one is to affect central neurons to prevent or reduce their pathological excessive discharge; the other is to increase the excitation threshold of normal brain tissue, weaken the spread of excitation of lesions, and prevent the recurrence of epilepsy.
