A method of preventing seizures as experienced by persons with Epilepsy. Electrical stimulation pulses are supplied to the external segment of the globus palliaus nucleus of the brain causing increased excitation thereby increasing inhibition of neural activity in the subthalamic nucleus and reducing excitatory input to the substantia nigra which leads to a reduction in the occurrence of seizures.
