Seizure taxonomy

Seizure taxonomy is a system for classifying different types of seizures based on their characteristics. It categorizes seizures into two main types: focal, originating in one specific area of the brain, and generalized, involving the entire brain from the start. Within these, seizures can be classified further based on their symptoms, such as whether they involve muscle movements, awareness, or consciousness. This structured approach helps healthcare providers understand, diagnose, and treat seizures more effectively by providing a clear framework for identifying their nature and origin.
