Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Partial seizures, also known as focal seizures, begin in a specific area of the brain and can cause an aura, which is a subjective sensation that precedes the seizure activity. Generalized seizures involve the entire brain, while photosensitive seizures are triggered by flashing lights, and paroxysmal seizures refer to any sudden, intense episodes of abnormal neuronal activity.
