Sensory seizures begin with numbness or tingling in one area. The sensation may move along one side of the body or the back before subsiding.

Myoclonic seizures are characterized by brief, involuntary spasms of the tongue or muscles of the face, arms, or legs. Myoclonic seizures are most apt to occur when waking after a night's sleep.
Limp posture and a brief period of unconsciousness are features of akinetic seizures, which occur in young children. Akinetic seizures, which cause the child to fall, also are called drop attacks.
sensory system
Touch, temperature and pain.
Auditory seizures affect the part of the brain that controls hearing and cause the patient to imagine voices, music, and other sounds.
No. Seizures can be 'grand mal' which involve the tonic-clonic muscle movement you describe as convulsions. 'Petit mal' seizures can be absence seizures, most often seen in children, where the patient seems catatonic for a brief period. Partial seizures can involve only one small body area, and some seizures consist of just a recurrent tic which can evolve into a larger seizure. Even a hiccup is believed to be a type of mild seizure.
Simple partial seizures do not affect awareness or consciousness, while complex partial seizures may alter consciousness or awareness. Simple partial seizures typically involve one specific area of the brain and can manifest as motor, sensory, or autonomic symptoms. Complex partial seizures involve larger areas of the brain and may lead to unusual behaviors or confusion.
Petit mal seizures are not restricted to children Seizures also known as convulsions occur more often in children than in adults because the developing brain of a child is more sensitive to disturbances than the fully grown brain of an adultPetit mal seizures are usually brief and consist of vacant staring and loss of muscle tone, or, conversely, there may be muscle rigidity. Objects held in the hands may be dropped. Often, there is a brief blackout of memory. But rare in these milder seizures are such things as loss of continence, usually associated with the convulsive grand mal seizures, or with uncontrolled wild behavior, as in psychomotor seizures.
clonic tonic seizure
A sensory system includes the sensory receptors, neural pathways, and the parts of the brain which are involved in sensory perception. The senses act as the transducers from the physical world to the mind where the information gathered by the senses is interpreted.
No, butterflies do not have mustaches. They have sensory organs on their legs and antennae that help them navigate and locate food sources. Their feeding parts consist of a proboscis for drinking nectar.
