Yes. Usually a seizure will start in a specific location within the brain and then it may or may not travel to other areas of the brain.

    When a seizure starts in one part of the brain and then spreads to other areas of the head, it is called a generalized or grand mal seizure.
  • b. What is a partial seizure?
    A seizure where only a small area of the brain is affected.
