Seizures
We know that the brain can get a scar or bruise on it because it's been jolted. With time, the bruise will go away and a scar will start to heal. Do you have any old scars on your body? If you feel them, you may notice that they're a little bit more solid or firm than the rest of the skin. The scar is always a little bit thicker and tougher than normal skin. In order to close a wound, the body sends resources to seal it. It's kind of like glue that holds your skin together. The same type of thing happens with the brain. When the brain gets a scar, the scar tends to harden over time. Some of the scars are actually rather soft at first, and with time they start to harden up a bit. The brain doesn't like that hardening and the scar starts to irritate the cells (neurons) around it Neurons are these tiny wires that make the brain work.
Seizures sometimes give off a warning sign before they start. Sometimes it'll feel like a tingling sensation in the stomach. Some people may begin to see bright lights or stars. Some people may smell something (like the smell of burning rubber). Suddenly, they just find themselves lying on the floor. The warning signs of a seizure are called "auras." Not everybody gets a warning sign. Sometimes, you're just walking along and-bang!--the seizure hits you.
Some seizures can be brought on by improper or flashy lighting. If someone in your home is prone to seizures, be sure to have soft constant light and strobe lights and other multi-colored flashing lights.
