A seizure is a clinical manifestation of abnormal activity in the FOREBRAIN. 

Generalised seizures:

Affect BOTH sides of the brain from the beginning of the seizure. Produce loss of consciousness, briefly or for a longer period, irregular breathing, cyanosis, salivation, urination and defecation.   (Tonic is the continuous contraction of muscles) 

Generalised tonic=only tonic phase noted Generalised clonic=rythmic paddling/limb jerking- no tonic phase Atonic=sudden loss of muscle tone with possible collapse Myoclonic= brief, shock like contractions  Absence= brief loss of consciousness, specific EEG pattern

Focal seizures:

ASYMMETRIC clinical signs that indicate abnormal electrical activity in ONE REGION of the forebrain.

Simple focal seizures: seizures in which consciousness is MAINTAINED.  Complex focal seizures: seizures in which consciousness is IMPAIRED.

It was in the calmness of your breath, the way your hand rested on the steering wheel, with your other hand on my leg. You didn’t know it then but in that simplicity you were stealing my breath and my heart all at once.
