caption_attribution_description: English: A tongue bite following a seizure
context_page_description: A seizure happens when the nerves in a person's brain act strangely. Nerves send information, partly through electrical signals. Usually, nerves in the brain do not fire at the same time. During a seizure, groups of nerves start firing together, too fast. This causes there to be too much disorganized electrical activity in the brain.
  Most people think a person with a seizure will shake and twitch. Some will, but there are also other kinds of seizures.
