Seizure Types - The Most Recent Classification of Seizures
I'm going to use the International League Against Epilepsy 2017 classification of seizure types. Focal onset is seizures that start in one specific area of the brain and generalized onset are seizures that start bilaterally simultaneously or synchronously. The most common types of automatisms are lip smacking which is sometimes called auro-alimentary automatisms. There can be behavioral arrest, there can be a lack of responsiveness or only partial responsiveness for people with epilepsy.
