Brain cells communicate with each other by electricity.
A group of brain cells can ''misfire'' and send out an abnormal signal to other cells in the brain. This scrambled signal causes a temporary ''short circuit'' of the brain. This is a seizure or convulsion . Valproic acid is an anticonvulsant. Anticonvulsants stop the spread of an abnormal signal to other parts of the brain.
