Abstract Conditions under which a neuron can maintain repetitive discharges are studied with the view that some light may be shed on the problem of epilepsy. It is shown that if there are excitatory and inhibitory substances as well as binding substances in volved, then for repetitive discharges to occur, the formation of the substances must be intracellular. The geometric physical characteristics of the system are also determining factors. The role of a fatigue factor is considered in an attempt to understand the frequency and duration of mild and severe epileptic attacks.
