Olfactory function in focal epilepsies: Understanding mesial temporal lobe epilepsy beyond the hippocampus [PDF]
Several lines of research have linked olfactory regions with the pathophysiology of focal epilepsies. Among those regions, the piriform cortex represents the major part of the primary olfactory cortex.

Diagnosing Temporal Lobe Epilepsy in the Emergency Department: A Case Report [PDF]
Introduction: Temporal lobe epilepsy is a form of focal epilepsy that originates in the temporal lobes, often presenting with a variety of symptoms including altered consciousness, automatisms, and focal seizures with or without impaired awareness. Given

Imaging memory in temporal lobe epilepsy: predicting the effects of temporal lobe resection [PDF]
Functional magnetic resonance imaging can demonstrate the functional anatomy of cognitive processes. In patients with refractory temporal lobe epilepsy, evaluation of preoperative verbal and visual memory function is important as anterior temporal lobe ...

Hyperphosphorylated tau in patients with refractory epilepsy correlates with cognitive decline: a study of temporal lobe resections [PDF]
Temporal lobe epilepsy, the most prevalent form of chronic focal epilepsy, is associated with a high prevalence of cognitive impairment but the responsible underlying pathological mechanisms are unknown.

The temporal lobes are the part of the brain most likely to give rise to epileptic seizures. Seizures originating in the temporal lobes vary greatly in character; some may be so unusual that they are not even recognised as epileptic. For patients who have been diagnosed with hippocampal sclerosis and whose seizures cannot be controlled with drugs ...

Epilepsy, hippocampal sclerosis and febrile seizures linked by common genetic variation around SCN1A [PDF]
Epilepsy comprises several syndromes, amongst the most common being mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis. Seizures in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis are typically drug-resistant, and mesial temporal lobe ...

Whole-brain functional correlates of memory formation in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy
The mesial temporal lobe is a key region for episodic memory. Accordingly, memory impairment is frequent in patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. However, the functional relevance of potentially epilepsy-induced reorganisation for memory formation
