Epilepsy - seizure types in brief.

Epileptic seizures can be very different. It depends on where in the brain something is wrong. Epileptic seizures are divided into two main types:

Partial seizures

Here the attack comes from just a part of the cerebral cortex.
 

Generalized seizures:

Here the entire cerebral cortex is involved.

The attack arises in the middle of the brain and from here spreads to the entire brain. The attack can arise on  its own or follow a partial attack spreading to into the middle of the brain. I. Patial attack spreading II. Generalized attack  III. Patial attack localized	The attack arises somewhere in the cerebral cortex and affects only the immediately surrounding areas. The symptoms depend on which part of the cerebral cortex is affected.

There are attacks which fall outside the two main types and there are attacks which resemble epileptic seizures, but are not.
