    ICTAL BIPEDAL BEHAVIOR: CLINICAL NEUROANATOMICAL CONSIDERATIONS

    No full text
    Transient epileptic amnesia (TEA) is a distinct neurologic condition occurring in late-middle/old age and presenting with amnesic attacks of epileptic nature and interictal memory disturbances. For many years this condition has been associated with the nonepileptic condition of transient global amnesia (TGA) and still today is poorly recognized by clinicians. Despite the clinical and laboratory findings that distinguish TEA from TGA, differential diagnosis may be difficult in the individual patient. Every effort must be employed for an early diagnosis, since antiepileptic treatment may readily control both ictal episodes and memory disturbances

    The expression of emotions induced by temporal lobe stimulation was analysed in 74 patients undergonig presurgical video-Stereo-EEG monitoring for drug-resistant epilepsy. 79 emotional responses were obtained in more than 900 stimulations. 67 out of 79 ER were 'fear responses'. Sad feelings were evoked 3 times, happy-pleasant feelings were obtained 9 times. Anger and disgust were never observed. Expression of fear was preferentially evoked by mesial temporal lobe stimulation. The most effective stimulation parameters for inducing emotional responses were high frequency (50 Hz) stimuli with 2mA intensity
