A seizure is triggered in the brain when neurons misfire, they fire too rapidly and the brain starts sending signals throughout the body. Those signals get mixed up and the muscles get confused that is how the convulsing is generated. The muscles associated with those nerves are trying to complete all the signals at once. Another way a seizure can occur is the signal gets sent out across the neuron structure for the neuron allowing the neuron to stay connected with other neurons. As they aid in structure they also help to remove dead neurons. Needless to say glial cells play an extremely important role in the function of H
