seizure

A discrete event due to sudden, transient neuronal discharge that disturbs the brain’s normal electrical activity and causes a temporary change in behavior, consciousness, bodily movements or sensation.  A seizure can have any one to three phases: preictal, ictus, and/or postictal.  Seizures are the main symptoms of epilepsy, but can be caused by a wide variety of conditions.
