A seizure is a temporary abnormal electro-physiologic phenomenon of the
brain, resulting in abnormal synchronization of electrical neuronal
activity. It can manifest as an alteration in mental state, tonic or clonic
movements, convulsions, and various other psychic symptoms (such as déjà vu
or jamais vu). It is caused by a temporary abnormal electrical activity of
a group of brain cells. The medical syndrome of recurrent, unprovoked
seizures is termed epilepsy, but some seizures may occur in people who do
not have epilepsy.
The treatment of epilepsy is a subspecialty of neurology; the study of
seizures is part of neuroscience.
