double-aspect theory

the position that mind and body are two attributes of a single substance (see mind–body problem). This view is particularly associated with Baruch Spinoza, who held that there is one (and only one) infinite substance, which he identified as God (see pantheism).

febrile seizure

a seizure arising from a high fever. It is the most common type of seizure in childhood and 20 to 30% of them recur. Febrile seizure is a benign condition for most children, but experiments with nonhuman animals and neuroimaging studies in humans suggest some febrile seizures may damage the hippocampus.
