Explanation

Negative seizures refer to a type of seizure where certain functions or abilities are temporarily lost or reduced. For example, a person might suddenly lose the ability to speak, see, or hear. These seizures are called "negative" because they involve the absence or reduction of normal functions, rather than the addition of abnormal activity, which is common in other types of seizures. They are usually caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain.
