<p>A symptom,
or sensation that preludes the onset of a physical development such as a
migraine or a seizure. A sensation felt by the patient originally thought to be
a “warning” of a seizure. Now an aura is defined as a simple partial seizure. A
patient with an aura is experiencing sensations from the cells which are
starting to fire abnormally. An aura can be any number of sensations from a
smell, a sound or a feeling/emotion. The type of aura the patient has is an
indication of the origin of the seizure onset, often the focus of
electrographic abnormality.<br></p>
