What happens here is that the part of the brain that makes a person aware can not communicate with the brain cortex. The person will lose awareness for a while, but is quick to regain it. The person can also lose muscle control and make some repetitive motions. The person generally looks like they have spaced out. For an inexperienced person this may look like the person is just not paying attention.
Myoclonic seizures involve discharges in the motor cortex.
This is the part of the brain, which affects a person s movement. They can cause a small amount of jerking of the arms and the leg. Most often this type of seizure will happen in the morning only. This is because they are triggered by lack of sleep. These are so mild that many people are having them without ever being diagnosed.
