Functional and structural neuroimaging techniques are increasingly indispensable in the
evaluation of epileptic patients for localization of the epileptic area as well as for …

Purpose: The literature regarding seizure outcome and prognostic factors for outcome after
temporal lobectomy is often contradictory. This is problematic, as these data are the basis on …

Most patients with non-lesional temporal lobe epilepsy (NLTLE) will have the findings of
hippocampal sclerosis (HS) on a high resolution MRI. However, a significant minority of …

Various PET studies, such as measurements of glucose, serotonin and oxygen metabolism,
cerebral blood flow and receptor bindings are availabe for epilepsy. 18 Fluoro-2 …

OBJECTIVE: To assess the predictive diagnostic added value of positron emission
tomography (PET) in preoperative epilepsy surgery evaluation for patients with temporal …

Interictal hypometabolism is commonly found in mesio‐temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE), but
its pathophysiology remains incompletely understood. We hypothesized that metabolic …

Objective: To evaluate the likelihood of and risk factors for seizure recurrence in patients
initially seizure-free after resective surgery for intractable epilepsy. Methods: One hundred …

Amygdala interconnections with the cingulate motor cortices were investigated in the rhesus
monkey. Using multiple tracing approaches, we found a robust projection from the lateral …

Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most common type of medically intractable partial
epilepsy amenable to surgery. In the majority of cases, the underlying pathology in temporal …

A significant minority of patients undergoing surgery for medically refractory non-lesional
temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) continue to have seizures, but the reasons for this are …
