Although a specific cause has not been identified to always induce<unk>  there have been a number of supported hypotheses to how these seizures come about, the most common being traumatic injury to the head. Other causes include tumor or cancers in the brain, stroke with loss of blood flow to the brain, and infection. A less tested hypothesis that some believe may play a larger role in determining who is affected by this disease is a genetic mutation that predisposes the subject for<unk> . This hypothesis is supported by occurrences of<unk>  in those with a family history of epilepsy. Labeled lobes of the brain. Observe the spatial relationship between lobes. Because the temporal, occipital, and parietal lobes are so close, electrical activity can easily travel between them.<unk> es are included in the category of the partial epilepsy in which abnormal electrical activity in the brain is localized. With current research, it is presumed that the most likely cause to produce vertigo are epilepsies occurring in the lateral temporal lobe. These abnormal electrical activities can either originate from within the temporal lobe or may propagate from an epilepsy in a neighboring region of the brain. Epilepsies in the parietal and occipital lobes commonly propagate into the temporal lobe inducing a<unk>  state. This electrical propagation across the brain explains why so many different symptoms may be associated with the<unk>  seizure. The strength of the electrical signal and its direction of propagation in the brain will also determine which associated symptoms are noticeable.
