Autonomic Seizures These cause changes in nervous centers that automatically controls bodily functions (e.g., strange or unpleasant abdominal sensation, increased heart rate). The area of the brain that controlsemotions (limbic region) strongly influences autonomic activity. This is whystrong emotions are associated with changes in heart rate and breathing, feelings in the stomach or chest and why we say things such as, “I just have this feeling in my gut.” When partial seizures arise from limbic areas of the temporal or frontal lobe, autonomic changes are common.
