I know this is a really silly question but does anyone know WHY so many types of seizures involve the mouth?
I see lots of explanations about why a seizure in this or that part of the brain would cause this or that arm/leg to move or visual problems or language problems, but why do so many involve swallowing, chewing or lip smacking gestures, lip/tongue/cheek biting or clenching of teeth, no matter what part of the brain they are in?
It makes me think that the part that controls our mouths is somehow always involved but I doubt that's true.
I know it's not really important but I would like to understand it if anyone knows.
