A seizure is a sudden surge of electrical activity in the brain that usually affects how a person feels or acts for a short time. Some seizures are hardly noticed—perhaps a feeling of "pins and needles" in one thumb for a few seconds. During other seizures, the person may become unconscious, fall to the floor, and jerk violently for several minutes. Between these extremes is an astonishing range of feelings and actions.
