Seizure disorder (epilepsy) Patho: Normally there is a balance of stimulation and inhibition stimuli within the brain. Seizure activity occurs when too much excitation or too little inhibition causes a group of brain neurons to discharge excessively or randomly. Generalized seizures occur when both sides of the brain are affected. Partial seizures occur when only one side of the brain is affected. A partial seizure may spread to produce a secondary generalized seizure. Phases of a seizure...
