Sofia ErikssonGUEST
So I think the most common epilepsy that people think about, the most common seizure people think about is the generalized tonic-clonic seizures, which is often what you see on television.

Sofia ErikssonGUEST
They may have convulsions in their whole body for a while, um, normally less than a few minutes, and then take a, a while to recover.

Sofia ErikssonGUEST
Um, so as I said, seizures can appear in many different way depending on the part of the brain where they come from.

Sofia ErikssonGUEST
So for example, if the frontal lobe is involved, that looks after movement, you might just get jerking of one side of the body, um, for, for a few minutes, and that might be it.

Sofia ErikssonGUEST
The temporal lobe is important for memory, so you may get feelings of déjà vu, uh, very strong feelings of déjà vu that may be associated with a rising feeling in your stomach.
