Differential Neuronal and Glial Relations with Parameters of Ictal Discharge in Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

Summary: Purpose: EEG recordings of spontaneous seizures should provide clues to epilepsy pathogenesis and pathology. We examined onset, propagation, and termination characteristics of spontaneous seizures recorded by intracranial EEG in temporal lobe (TL) epilepsy in relation to neuronal, glial, and synaptic changes in the same tissue.
