Generalized seizures occur all over the brain and can affect the entire body. Symptoms of general seizures include: 1  convulsions. 2  twitching motions. 3  falling down. 4  loss of consciousness. 5  biting the tongue. 6  loss of bladder control. 7  stiffening of the body.
Though the hippocampus is an essential brain structure for the proper functioning of long-term memory, it cannot be regarded as the âmemory centreâ in the same sense that the occipital cortex, for example, can be regarded as the centre for processing visual information.
How it works. The brain stores memories in two ways. Short-term memories like a possible chess move, or a hotel room number are processed in the front of the brain in a highly developed area called the pre-frontal lobe, according to McGill University and the Canadian Institute of Neurosciences, Mental Health and Addiction.
