Seizures and convulsions are examples of neurological events that result from abnormal electrical activity in the brain. They can manifest as sudden, uncontrolled movements or changes in behavior, consciousness, or sensations. Seizures can be classified into various types, including focal and generalized seizures, while convulsions typically refer to the violent shaking movements associated with certain types of seizures, such as tonic-clonic seizures. Both conditions can be symptoms of underlying medical issues, such as epilepsy or brain injury.
