This paper highlights the general information regarding the use of EEG in epilepsy, EEG patterns resembling epileptiform discharges, and the interictal, ictal and postictal findings in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy using scalp and intracranial recordings prior to surgery.

An EEG (electroencephalogram) should be done and often shows spike or sharp waves in the tip or front of the temporal lobe. These can be seen when a person is awake or asleep. When seizures arise in more mesial (middle) temporal lobe areas, the EEG may only show rhythmic slowing during seizures.

3 天之前 · The advent of digitized EEG systems and advances in imaging further enhanced the exploration of the epileptic brain [17]. ... They are defined as TLE with maximal epileptogenicity within the temporo-basal regions, either anterior (including the rhinal cortex, anterior collateral sulcus, anterior fusiform gyrus, and anterior occipito-temporal ...

2022年1月1日 · While the diagnosis of TLE relies on detailed analysis of clinical as well as electroencephalographic (EEG) features, the lesions responsible for seizure generation can be highlighted by multiple brain imaging modalities or, in selected cases, by genetic investigations.

2025年3月25日 · It was demonstrated differences between TLE patients and HC in terms of network alterations, in fact, a HD-EEG source-based functional connectivity study, observed that patients TLE exhibited significantly lower flexibility than healthy controls Default Mode Network (DMN) and Attentive Dorsal networks, expressed in the delta, theta and alpha ...

2022年9月13日 · LEV treatment induces a modulation of resting-state EEG microstates in newly diagnosed TLE patients. Microstates analysis has the potential to identify a neurophysiological indicator of LEV therapeutic activity.

2025年3月24日 · EEG-fMRI electroencephalogram-functional magnetic resonance imaging, IGE idiopathic generalized epilepsy. ... [TLE] studies and two extra-TLE studies). Again, we computed binary spheres (6 mm ...

2017年9月28日 · Using EEG-based directed functional connectivity and a RF classifier for automatic diagnosis and lateralization of TLE, we found that 1) both classifiers for diagnosis and lateralization of TLE achieved high accuracy (90%), 2) the outflows from the left and right hippocampus, and from the right ACC were the most important features for diagnosis ...

2019年8月22日 · Routine EEG (20–30 min.) is usually normal, although a longer recording may detect temporal epileptiform activity in most of the cases. Slow temporal activity, when it appears in the form of delta wave trains (temporal intermittent rhythmic delta activity (TIRDA)), may also have a localizing value.

2025年2月25日 · Background/Objectives: Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) responds well to surgical treatment, although a considerable percentage of patients experience seizure recurrence after resection. Relapse from the contralateral mesial temporal lobe, extratemporal lobe epilepsy mimicking TLE, or temporal plus epilepsy might account for surgical failures. Methods: We included patients with a pre-implantation ...
