Theory 33/Seizure cycle/Termination phase
Termination Is Inhibitory Exhaustion
The claim
A seizure ends when the ratio of inhibitory drive to excitatory drive recovers above one, which occurs through exhaustion rather than active braking.
01Mechanism
Sustained firing depletes resources and recruits inhibition; the ratio crosses back.
02Prediction
Duration should track the recovery ratio.
03Refutation
Duration tracking onset severity would remove recovery.
