Question: Can your brain have a seizure.

Keywords:

  1. Well, yes in a way.

    In fact a seizure is a consequence of a malfunction in the brain. It’s called epilepsy. Neurons start firing together and much harder than they would normally, that can cause ‘thrashing’ of the body and hallucinations. Not fun.

    Did you know Julius Caesar suffered from epilepsy?

  2. Yep! A seizure usually happens because your brain becomes over-excited and firing off in the wrong way. As Josie mentioned, this is what happens in people with epilepsy.
    Sometimes really bad brain injuries, certain drugs and overheating can also cause seizures-best to be avoided if at all possible!!!
