Abstract: About 50 million people worldwide have epilepsy, making it one of the most common neurological diseases worldwide. According to WHO data, almost 80% of people with epilepsy live in low- and middle-income countries. Epilepsy has been the subject of rigorous scientific study in traditional Western medicine for centuries. The access to studies of Magnetic Resonance, Neurophysiological, genetic, have allowed enormous advances in the understanding of its causes and pharmacological treatment. In spite of it, near 30% of the patients do not obtain a control of their seizures.

Abstract: Human populations exhibit a variety of eye color phenotypes, with Europeans exhibiting more diversity than others [1- 3]. A variety of selective mechanisms to explain this pattern have been proposed; these include a general preference for blue eyes [4,5], parental imprinting effects [6-8] inbreeding avoidance behaviors [9,10], paternity assurance preferences [11,12] and frequency dependent selection favoring rare phenotypes (termed negative FdSs) [1]. Here we show, using an ethnically diverse study population asked to rate the attractiveness of faces of Caucasian members of the opposite sex in which the eye color frequencies were manipulated, strong support for negative FdSs exhibited by white females of European ancestry.
