What happens to the brain?

In this film, an Epilepsy Nurse will discuss what happens to the brain during a seizure, highlighting the key things to help you understand your Epilepsy and seizures.

 

 

So to recap:
 

• A seizure occurs when electrical impulses misfire in the brain.

 

• What a seizure looks and feels like is different, depending on where in the brain it starts and how much of the brain is affected.

 

• You might experience several different types of seizure, but they will always go down the same neuro pathways.

 

• Each person’s seizures, and Epilepsy, are unique to them.
