Seizures have different names. Some of these are:   Fits Convulsions Turns   Our Brain:The human brain is a highly complex structure made up of millions of nerve cells called ‘neurons’. The function of these neurons in the brain is well –regulated. They are responsible for our consciousness, awareness, speech and body movement. The brain , like the heart, has a normal electrical rhythm. When neurons become irritable, the normal electrical rhythm is disturbed . A seizure is caused by a temporary disturbance in the electrical and chem-ical activity of the brain. Abnormal electrical discharges are generated in the brain that cause brief changes in body function and mental function (behavior).   Epilepsy is called `mirgi’ in hindi, and `fefre’ in Marathi.
