Whether temporal lobe epilepsy is the result of an isolated, early injury or whether there is ongoing neuronal dysfunction or loss due to seizures is often debated. We attempt to address this issue by using magnetic resonance techniques. Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging can detect and

Because high extracellular K+ concentrations (18-20 m ~) increased glial NaC-and K+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase {(Na' + K+)-ATPase} activities, while this increase was not observed in neuronal preparations, it is hypothesized that K+ released in the extracellular space during neuronal firing
## Abstract The influence of melatonin on hippocampal evoked potentials initiated by lowβ and highβfrequency electrical stimulations and by two pulses applied in rapid succession was investigated. In confirmation of our previous studies, melatonin attenuated the population spike triggered by lowβfr
The pathophysiology of widespread interictal hypometabolism in temporal lobe epilepsy is unknown but might reflect neuronal loss and diaschisis. We found no significant correlation between any cortical region's metabolism on preoperative {'\*F}fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography and neur
