The main goal of this article is to review certain aspects of the circuitry of the human cerebral
cortex that may be particularly relevant for the development, maintenance or spread of …

Background: Previous studies have suggested a variety of factors that may be associated
with the presence of hippocampal formation (HF) atrophy in patients with complex partial …

High-resolution MRI can detect dual pathology (an extrahippocampal lesion plus
hippocampal atrophy) in about 5–20% of patients with refractory partial epilepsy referred for …

Forty-seven patients with unilateral temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) were investigated on the
Nine-Box Maze. The task was designed to compare working memory and spatial mapping …

Objective: To determine patient-oriented outcome after anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) for
refractory epilepsy. Background: Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is an important …

The hippocampus plays a central role in the generation and propagation of seizures in
patients with complex partial seizures. Hippocampal sclerosis (HS) is a common structural …

Object. Surgery in children with epilepsy is a new, evolving field. The important practical
issues have been to define strategies for choosing the most suitable candidates and the type …

Purpose: To study the relationship of complex febrile seizures (CFS) in the evolution of
mesial temporal sclerosis. Methods: We studied five children 22–68 (mean 44) months old …

Purpose: MRI volumetric measurements (MRIvol) have been proven reliable in determining
mesial temporal atrophy in patients with TLE. We attempted to correlate the clinical features …

Limbic system atrophy and memory dysfunction are common in patients with temporal lobe
epilepsy (TLE). However, the relationship between extrahippocampal limbic structures and …
