What causes epileptic seizures?
The brain is the control center for the body. Normal electrical signals between cells make the brain and body work correctly. The cells work like little switches, automatically turning electrical charges on and off. But sometimes it is as if some cells get stuck in the “on” position. This affects other cells and spreads to other parts or through all of the brain. It blocks out our usual awareness of things around us, or may change the way the world looks, or may make our bodies move automatically.
