Epileptic seizures (colloquially a fit) are brief episodes of abnormal excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain. The outward effect can vary from wild thrashing movement (tonic-clonic seizure) to as mild as a brief loss of awareness (absence seizure). The syndrome of recurrent unprovoked seizures is termed epilepsy but seizures can occur in people who do not have epilepsy.
