Summary
This study looked at how the brain chemical dopamine behaves in people with idiopathic generalized epilepsy compared to healthy volunteers. Researchers measured yawning and blinking after giving a low dose of apomorphine, a drug that mimics dopamine. The goal was to understand brain differences, not to treat the condition. 31 people took part.
