SEIZURE
A seizure (the medical term for a fit or convulsion) occurs when there is a sudden burst of electrical activity in them brain temporarily interfering with the normal messaging processes.
Imagine we have certain batteries in the brain. These batteries suddenly and unexpectedly get short-circuited and catch fire, because of which patients get some ‘experience’.
It may be some visual experience or it may be some hand jerking or it may be falling down shaking.
It depends on which area of the brain is abnormal during the electrically-charged moment. If it happens unexpectedly and several times, it is called epilepsy
