	Jacksonian seizure
		Some patients with seizures that are difficult to treat may respond to a vagal nerve stimulator—a device that stimulates a nerve in the chest and reduces the number of seizures.
		Patients who have seizures that could result in loss of motor control or consciousness should be advised not to drive, swim alone, or engage in other activities during which a seizure could endanger themselves or others.
		Seizures that occur singly or in a closely associated group are commonly triggered by an acute condition such as brain injury and may occur as an isolated incident, or they may develop into a chronic seizure disorder.

	Jacksonian seizure. Who is Jacksonian seizure? What is Jacksonian seizure? Where is Jacksonian seizure? Definition of ...
		Jacksonian seizures are associated with a form of epilepsy.
		Jacksonian seizures are initiated with abnormal electrical activity within the primary motor cortex.
		These seizures are named after their discoverer, John Hughlings Jackson, an English neurologist, whose studies led to the discovery of the seizures' initiation point (in the primary motor cortex) in 1863.

	Jacksonian seizure definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms easily defined on MedTerms
		Jacksonian seizure: A form of epilepsy involving brief alteration in movement, sensation or nerve function caused by abnormal electrical activity in a localized area of the brain.
		Jacksonian seizures are extremely varied and may involve, for example, apparently purposeful movements such as turning the head, eye movements, smacking the lips, mouth movements, drooling, rhythmic muscle contractions in a part of the body, abnormal numbness, tingling, and a crawling sensation over the skin.
		These seizures are named for the English neurologist, John Hughlings Jackson, who studied speech defects in brain disorders and confirmed the location in the brain of the speech center ("Broca's center").

		Jacksonian seizures are associated with a form of epilepsy.Epilepsy involves abnormal activity in the brain that can lead to neurons firing at many times their normal rate.
		Jacksonian seizures are initiated with abnormal electrical activity within the primary motor cortex.They are unique in that they travel through the primary motor cortex in succession, affecting the corresponding muscles, beginning with the fingers.
		These seizures are named after their discoverer, John Hughlings Jackson, an English neurologist, whose studies led to the discovery of the seizures' initiation point (inthe primary motor cortex) in 1863.

		Seizure disorders has been a result from and not limited to: head injury, brain tumors, anoxia, meningitis, or other infectious disease, ingestion's of toxins and or chemicals, birth trauma such as; inadequate oxygen supply to the brain, perinatal infection, CVA, and metabolic disorders, such as, hypoglycemia.
		Jacksonian seizure - begins as a localized motor seizure characterized by the spread of abnormal activity to adjacent areas of the brain.
		Myoclonic seizure: also called bilateral massive epileptic myoclonus, it is characterized by brief, involuntary muscular jerks of the body or extremities, which may occur in a rhythmic fashion.

		A partial seizure is an episode of abnormal activity in a localized (specific) part of the brain which causes changes in attention, movement, and/or behavior.
		All seizures are caused by abnormal electrical disturbances in the brain.
		Partial (focal) seizures occur when this electrical activity remains confined to a limited area of the brain; they may sometimes progress to generalized seizures, which affect the whole brain.

	Epilepsy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Epilepsy (often referred to as a seizure disorder) is a chronic neurological condition characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures.
		For example, a partial seizure in areas involved in perception may cause a particular sensory experience (for example, the perception of a scent, music or flashes of light) whereas, when centred in the motor cortex, a partial seizure might cause movement in particular groups of muscles.
		In most cases, the proper emergency response to a Generalized Tonic/Clonic epileptic seizure is simply to prevent the patient from self-injury by moving him or her away from sharp edges, placing something soft beneath the head, and carefully moving the person onto his or her side to avoid asphyxiation.
