The author explores the developmental nature of epilepsy, showing that 90% of cases first arise during brain growth and development. Epilepsy is commonly found alongside mental disease, with one-fourth of insane patients in some English counties being epileptic, and 22% of congenitally weak-minded patients exhibiting the condition. The author presents a wealth of data to demonstrate the innate instability of the brain's motor cortex in epileptics, and argues that casual exciting causes, such as fright or shock, are merely indicative of this instability rather than genuine causes.
