Epilepsy {petit mal seizure} can involve one brain region and have twitching, consciousness, and weird feelings, tastes, or smells. Focal epilepsy can have a déja vu "dreamy state" experience.
Epilepsy {grand mal seizure} {grand-mal convulsion} {tonic-clonic convulsion} can involve whole brain, whole-body seizures, consciousness loss, and repeated muscle tightening and relaxing [Canger et al., 1980] [Ebner et al., 1995] [Gloor, 1986] [Gloor et al., 1980] [Inoue and Mihara, 1998] [Lux et al., 2002] [Pedley and Guilleminault, 1977] [Reeves, 1985]. Muscles can stiffen symmetrically, people can cry out, breathing can stop briefly, and people can lose consciousness {tonic phase}. Then people can fall to ground and have muscle jerking {clonic phase}. Cyanosis blue color can develop around lips or face, bladder can empty, bowels can empty, and people can bite tongue. Left-hemisphere seizures more often result in consciousness loss.
