Experts are weighing in on the disturbing video of Los Angeles TV reporter Serene Branson lapsing into gibberish while she delivered a live report on  KCBS' late news following the Grammy Awards on Sunday night.

As he watched the clip  -- which quickly went viral --  Dr. Jesse Eisenberger, a neurology professor with the Mt. Sinai Medical Center, told  Good Morning America on Tuesday that Branson is  "definitely having difficulty expressing her words, which is a neurological condition called Aphasia," which he described as "a symptom that can be related to a stroke, or it could be other things, such as a partial seizure."

Sarah Carlson, a Wisconsin-based news anchor who had an epileptic seizure on the air, said she could relate to Branson.

Carlson said, “I thought it was eerily similar -- the look in her eyes ... and the way she spoke.”

KCBS-TV  reported that Branson was examined by paramedics after the incident, and her vital signs were normal ; a colleague then drove her home. Branson had a doctor's appointment Monday to follow up, the network said.
