Please tell me what the difference between simple partial and complex seizures is. Else, How do partial seizures differ? How do they differ in symptoms that cause and in genesis? As I know, there are different meds used in treatment of different seizures. So they must differ as they are treated different.

During simple partial seizure person is conscious and fully aware, but not able to control or stop the symptoms of seizure. Simple partial seizure may affect temporal lobe, frontal lobe, parietal or occipital. These types of seizures differ is their symptoms because affected area have different roles in human behaviour. Seizures originated in temporal lobe cause emotional disorder, like extreme feeling of happiness or fear. Frontal lobe has role in control of movements so disorder is exposed as motor seizure. Parietal lobe seizures cause physical sensations but sometimes movement disorder because parietal and frontal lobes are closely associated. Occipital lobe is responsible for vision and cause disturbances related to vision like fire balls, flashing lights and strange colours.
