In a real-life scenario, differential diagnosis between these two conditions can be hard. In this study we use power spectral analysis empowered by exact Low Resolution Brain Electromagnetic Tomography (eLORETA) to evidence the differences between TEA and TGA. Fifteen patients affected by TEA (64.2 5.2 y.o.; 11 female/4 male; 10 left and 5 right temporal epileptic focus) ± and 15 patients affected by TGA (65.8 7.2 y.o.; 11 females/4 males) were retrospectively identified in ± our clinical records. All patients recorded EEGs after symptoms offset. EEGs were analyzed with eLORETA to evidence power spectral contrast between the two conditions. We used an inverse problem solution to localize the source of spectral differences.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Only primates have temporal lobes, which are largest in man, accommodating 17% of the cerebral cortex and including areas with auditory, olfactory, vestibular, visual and linguistic functions. The hippocampal formation, on the medial side of the lobe, includes the parahippocampal gyrus, subiculum, hippocampus, dentate gyrus, and associated white matter, notably the fimbria, whose fibres continue into the fornix. The hippocampus is an inrolled gyrus that bulges into the temporal horn of the lateral ventricle. Association fibres connect all parts of the cerebral cortex with the parahippocampal gyrus and subiculum, which in turn project to the dentate gyrus. The largest efferent projection of the subiculum and hippocampus is through the fornix to the hypothalamus. The choroid fissure, alongside the fimbria, separates the temporal lobe from the optic tract, hypothalamus and midbrain. The amygdala comprises several nuclei on the medial aspect of the temporal lobe, mostly anterior the hippocampus and indenting the tip of the temporal horn. The amygdala receives input from the olfactory bulb and from association cortex for other modalities of sensation.

  • Acetylcholinesterase Fiber Staining in the Human Hippocampus and Parahippocampal Gyrms
    THE JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE NEUROLOGY 273:488-499 (1988) Acetylcholinesterase Fiber Staining in the Human Hippocampus and Parahippocampal Gyrms ROBERT C. GREEN AND M-MARSEL MESULAM Division of Neuroscience and Behavioral Neurology, Beth Israel Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02215 ABSTRACT The AChE fiber distribution within the human hippocampus and para- hippocampal gyrus was studied in order to provide normative data for the examination of cholinergic fiberarchitecture in human pathology and to clarify the cytoarchitectonic organization of these structures. A modification of the Koelle method was used to stain temporal lobe serial sections from 6 neurologically normal human brains collected at autopsy. The hippocampal formation contains some ofthe densest staining of any cortical area. Regions with the heaviest concentrations of AChE fibers in- clude a thin band along the inner edge of the molecular layer of the dentate gyrus (ml-DG) and parts of the CA2, CA3, and CA4 sectors of Ammon's horn. Staining is of intermediate intensity in the CA1 region, The subiculum (S) is more lightly stained than the CA fields. Staining in the parahippocam- pal gyrus is generally less dense than in the hippocampal formation. The most conspicuous feature of the human entorhinal cortex (EC) is the AChE- rich fiber patches seen overlapping the stellate cell islands in layer 11. An additional band of relatively dense AChE staining is identified in layers N- V. Prominent AChE-rich polymorphic neurons are present within the hilum of the dentate gyrus. The CAlhubiculum transition in Nissl preparation is characterized by an oblique interdigitation of CA1 cells. The transition from EC to prorhinal cortex occurs along the medial bank of the rhinal sulcus and is characterized by a band of AChE staining, which slopes obliquely away from layer I1 until it joins an intermediate pyramidal cell layer.

  • Subtemporal Transparahippocampal Amygdalohippocampectomy for Surgical Treatment of Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Technical Note
    Subtemporal transparahippocampal amygdalohippocampectomy for surgical treatment of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy Technical note T. S. Park, M.D., Blaise F. D. Bourgeois, M.D., Daniel L. Silbergeld, M.D., and W. Edwin Dodson, M.D. Department of Neurology and Neurological Surgery, Washington University School of Medicine, and St. Louis Children's Hospital, St. Louis, Missouri Amygdalohippocampectomy (AH) is an accepted surgical option for treatment of medically refractory mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. Operative approaches to the amygdala and hippocampus that previously have been reported include: the sylvian fissure, the superior temporal sulcus, the middle temporal gyrus, and the fusiform gyrus. Regardless of the approach, AH permits not only extirpation of an epileptogenic focus in the amygdala and anterior hippocampus, but interruption of pathways of seizure spread via the entorhinal cortex and the parahippocampal gyrus. The authors report a modification of a surgical technique for AH via the parahippocampal gyrus, in which excision is limited to the anterior hippocampus, amygdala and parahippocampal gyrus while preserving the fusiform gyrus and the rest of the temporal lobe. Because transparahippocampal AH avoids injury to the fusiform gyrus and the lateral temporal lobe, it can be performed without intracarotid sodium amobarbital testing of language dominance and language mapping. Thus the operation would be particularly suitable for pediatric patients in whom intraoperative language mapping before resection is difficult. Key Words * amygdalohippocampectomy * complex partial seizure * parahippocampal gyrus * subtemporal approach Currently several different variations of temporal lobe resections are used for medically intractable complex partial seizures.[4,6,8,18,21,30,34] Among these operations is amygdalohippocampectomy (AH), first described in 1958 by Niemeyer,[16] who approached the amygdala and hippocampus through an incision on the middle temporal gyrus.
