I've read some of these papers, and suggest that you find instead
a basic textbook, like the Principles of Neural Science (3rd Ed.) by
Kandel, Schwartz and Jessell, published by Elsevier. A large part of
chapter 50 is devoted to the mechanisms of epilepsy, and other
chapters will let you trace the connection to the motor neurons
innervating the musculature. Don't waste your time on Hempfling's
stuff.  Consider, for example, that since he has developed the
formula for the human brain (in 23 pages!) he should be able to
predict exactly where and how epileptic behavior arises, right?

I don't think so...

Best,
Jonathan
