In temporal lobe epilepsy — a common and debilitating form of the disorder — seizures often cause those affected to lose consciousness. But why that happens has been unclear. In a new study, Yale ...

New research by the Human Brain Project has found that in the brains of patients with epilepsy, changes in large scale neuronal activations can be detected in the brain's resting state activity, even ...

In a retrospective cohort, a clinical heuristic composed of eight binary variables helped identify which patients with medial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) were best suited for stereotactic laser ...

Temporal lobe epilepsy, which results in recurring seizures and cognitive dysfunction, is associated with premature aging of brain cells. A new study from researchers at Georgetown University Medical ...

A 45 year-old woman presented for evaluation of poorly controlled temporal lobe seizures, despite taking three anticonvulsant medications. Her seizures always started with a "deja vu" feeling, ...

The temporal lobe is part of the cerebral cortex. It plays a role in memory, enables people to process sound and vision, and is crucial for recognizing objects and language. Dysfunction in the ...

The present study was designed to evaluate the genetic mechanisms in patients with focal epileptiform discharges in the mid-temporal or central regions, an electroencephalographic abnormality of high ...

A 23 year-old woman presented for evaluation of intractable seizures. Her seizures would typically start with the perception of an odd smell followed by a staring spell. She would remain awake but ...
