seizures

• terms
  • seizure onset zone: this is where the seizure activity happens
  • symptomatogenic zone: seizure activity happens here too, but it's more indirect. These are the areas for which seizure activity will produce symptoms, e.g., muscle spasms, auras
  • semiology: a classification of the different manifestations of seizures. So, for example, seizures that originate in the temporal lobe tend to last longer than frontal lobe seizures and may be accompanied by oral automatisms
