What Causes Seizures?
Book cover of Foundational Concepts in Neuroscience: A Brain-Mind Odyssey by David E. Presti.

There are often involuntary muscle movements, and sometimes even complete loss of control over the movement of one’s body. Obviously, this could lead to serious consequences if someone has a seizure while, for example, driving a car.
