Musicogenic epilepsy (ME), a peculiar form of reflex epilepsy, represents a neurological rarity and yet another demonstration of the extraordinary power of music on the human brain. Despite the heterogeneity of the reported musical triggers, the patients' emotional response to music is thought to play a crucial role in provoking seizures. Accordingly, the mesial temporal structures (especially of the non-dominant hemisphere) appear most involved in seizure generation, although a more complex fronto-temporal epileptogenic network was documented in some cases.

Musicogenic epilepsy is a rare form of reflex epilepsy in which seizures are provoked by music. Different musicogenic stimuli have been identified: pleasant/unpleasant music or specific musical patterns. Several etiologies have been uncovered, such as focal cortical dysplasia, autoimmune encephalitis, tumors, or unspecific gliosis.

The association of musicogenic epilepsy (ME) with antibodies against glutamic decarboxylase (GAD) supports autoimmune workups for these patients. No appropriate treatment has been established for ME; therefore, immunotherapy should be considered for patients who become drug-resistant. The connection between neurological manifestations and antibodies against GAD, a rate-limiting enzyme that helps create the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid, has been well established.
