Abstract
Introduction: The influence of the Enlightenment is evident with the mention of Herman Boerhave. The strong European influence draws attention with minimal expression of the social and medical concepts of pre-Colombian cultures such as the Aztec and Mayan.
Methods: A medical and cultural conceptual analysis of the text "Medical-moral report of the very painful, and rigorous disease of epilepsy" is carried out.
Results: The physicians of the Enlightenment managed to define epilepsy, classify its seizures, explain its causes and pathophysiology, as well as carry out a comprehensive approach. This biomedical concept complemented and coincided with theological explanations of epilepsy.
Conclusion: The Enlightenment was fundamental for a systematized development to explain epilepsy, which in some ways persists until today. The influence of the Aztec and Mayan cultures in this text is minimal.
期刊介绍：
Epilepsy & Behavior is the fastest-growing international journal uniquely devoted to the rapid dissemination of the most current information available on the behavioral aspects of seizures and epilepsy.
Epilepsy & Behavior presents original peer-reviewed articles based on laboratory and clinical research. Topics are drawn from a variety of fields, including clinical neurology, neurosurgery, neuropsychiatry, neuropsychology, neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, and neuroimaging.
From September 2012 Epilepsy & Behavior stopped accepting Case Reports for publication in the journal. From this date authors who submit to Epilepsy & Behavior will be offered a transfer or asked to resubmit their Case Reports to its new sister journal, Epilepsy & Behavior Case Reports.
