Hi there.

Grand-mal seizures, or most type of seizures for that matter induces a period of brain hypoxia which means that for a certain span of time, the brain is not getting enough oxygen.  This is also the reason why after a seizure, the person usually becomes very tired and would opt to just lie down and sleep.  If the seizure is transient or infrequent, there should be no long lasting effect on the functions on the brain.  However, for some with repeated or prolonged seizure, some aspects of brain function can indeed be affected like memory, perception, and overall cognitive abilities.

Regards.
