Seizure: The frontal lobe is the forward area of the brain, that controls executive planning, aspects of personality, and motor control. A seizure arising from this area may manifest with motor symptoms, or nonconvulsive changes.

Location seizures: Seizures can result from abnormal discharges that come from a specific area of the brain. These can be simple without change in consciousness or complex with change in consciousness. If focus is in the frontal lobes, may cause strange behavior and special type of initial "aura" that can be very difficult to identify as seizure activity.
