→Genetic Pathophysiology and Seizure types
Epileptic seizures appear in two types: focal and generalized. The first type of focal seizures is the one without loss of consciousness, but with jerking of different body parts or a change in the perception of reality. The second type is focal seizures with impaired consciousness or change of awareness. On the other hand, generalized epilepsy types are absence seizures, tonic seizures, atonic seizures, clonic seizures and so on. <ref name=”[36]”> Epilepsy.

Focal seizures include automatisms, behavior arrest, hyperkinetic, autonomic, cognitive and emotional, while atonic, clonic, epileptic spasms, myoclonic and tonic seizures can be both focal or generalized. Generalized seizure types are absence with eyelid myoclonida, myoclonic absence, myoclonic - atonic, myoclonic - tonic - clonic. <ref name=”[42]”> Fisher, R. S., Cross, J. H., French, J.
