2,698 epileptic patients were studied, 2,019 cases (64.3%) presenting temporal lobe epileptic attacks. Besides the routine EEG recordings and the corroboration of the clinical data with the meticulous observations by video monitoring on a closed circuit TV-screen (the patients being observe in a specially arranged room, provided with infra-red cameras), the diagnostic procedure was supported in all cases by several computerized EEG mappings, according to a model achieved by us, transcribing the primary data obtained by Hjorth's NSD parameters from the Siemens-Elema Mingograph to a Romanian M-118 microprocessor. In many cases we utilized an interface--built by us--for analog-digital conversion which allowed the direct introduction and conversion of amplitudes and frequencies from the Mingograph to the micro-computer. These were isolated to analyse the following electroclinical forms: 1. temporal absences: 360 cases (17.8%); 2. psychomotor attacks: 439 cases (21.7%) 3. psychosensory attacks: 77 cases (3.8%); 4. attacks with cognitive symptomatology: 260 cases (12.8%); 5. crises with ideative-affective symptomatology: 76 cases (3.8%); 6. vegetative attacks: 51 cases (2.5%); 7. akinetic attacks: 89 cases (4.4%); 8. focal temporal attacks secondarily generalized: 667 cases (33.0%). In 112 patients with nocturnal attacks, polysomnographic recordings were performed with sequential computerized EEG mappings during the various stages of sleep (concomitantly with the infrared video-TV monitoring).

D004594 Electrophysiology The study of the generation and behavior of electrical charges in living organisms particularly the nervous system and the effects of electricity on living organisms.
D004833 Epilepsy, Temporal Lobe A localization-related (focal) form of epilepsy characterized by recurrent seizures that arise from foci within the TEMPORAL LOBE, most commonly from its mesial aspect. A wide variety of psychic phenomena may be associated, including illusions, hallucinations, dyscognitive states, and affective experiences. The majority of complex partial seizures (see EPILEPSY, COMPLEX PARTIAL) originate from the temporal lobes. Temporal lobe seizures may be classified by etiology as cryptogenic, familial, or symptomatic. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p321).
