Temporal lobe seizures are seizures that originate in the two temporal lobes of your brain.

The temporal lobes process emotions, fight-or-flight reactions, and are important for short-term memory. Some symptoms of a temporal lobe seizure may be related to these functions, including having odd feelings — such as euphoria, fear, panic and deja vu.

During a temporal lobe seizure, you may remain partially conscious. Or, if the temporal lobe seizure is more intense, you may be unresponsive, even though you look awake. You also may make repetitive movements of your lips and hands.

Temporal lobe seizures may stem from an anatomical defect or scar. But the cause often remains unknown.

Temporal lobe seizures may be resistant to anti-seizure medications. Surgery may be an option for some people who don’t respond to medication.
