Non-epileptic seizures (NES), also called non-epileptic episodic events, are paroxysmal events that resemble epileptic seizures but do not involve abnormal, rhythmic discharges in the brain that define epilepsy. Some may arise from functional disruptions in brain activity, as seen in psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES), a common subtype classified under functional neurological disorders.
