This Paper aims to provide a detailed overview of some basic and complex topics in the field of Neuroscience. Focusing on the overall occurrence of Action Potentials in Nerve cells, an insightful description of the processes which take place at the cellular and molecular levels is also provided. What follows is a discussion on how Neurocysticercosis, a parasitic infection which adversely affects the Central Nervous System, leads to Epileptic Consequences in the human body, as stated in the title. The explanation of these consequences contains vital information as to how such complex diseases and their consequences are merely errors in Action Potentials at the cellular level. With this, the paper also uses information from previously conducted studies, which found a causal linkage between Neurocysticercosis and Epilepsy. Keywords: Action Potentials; Neurocysticercosis; Epilepsy; Neuroscience; Central Nervous System; Pork Tapeworm; Taenia Solium
