Mechanism of seizure activity: ·          You’re more likely to have a seizure if you had a haemorrhagic stroke (bleed on the brain). ·          Seizures can also be more likely if you had a severe stroke, or a stroke in the cerebral cortex, the large outer layer of the brain where vital functions like movement, thinking, vision and emotion take place. ·          Some people will have repeated seizures, and be diagnosed with epilepsy. ·          The
