Limbic evoked potentials were recorded from intracerebral electrodes bilaterally implanted in the hippocampi of 16 epileptic patients undergoing evaluation for surgical resection of a seizure focus. Spectral analysis of the limbic evoked potentials revealed consistently lower spectral power of both low-band (1-12.6 Hz) and high-band (13-20 Hz) components recorded form the hippocampus that was associated with the electrographically confirmed seizure focus as compared to the contralateral side. Limbic evoked potential recordings appear to be useful in the determination of a focal functional deficit and thus in identifying the site of epileptogenic pathology. Further, the results support the hypothesis of a local generator for limbic evoked potentials and demonstrate that limbic evoked potentials in humans include not only low-frequency, high-amplitude electric field changes, but also a high-frequency component.

D008032 Limbic System A set of forebrain structures common to all mammals that is defined functionally and anatomically. It is implicated in the higher integration of visceral, olfactory, and somatic information as well as homeostatic responses including fundamental survival behaviors (feeding, mating, emotion). For most authors, it includes the AMYGDALA; EPITHALAMUS; GYRUS CINGULI; hippocampal formation (see HIPPOCAMPUS); HYPOTHALAMUS; PARAHIPPOCAMPAL GYRUS; SEPTAL NUCLEI; anterior nuclear group of thalamus, and portions of the basal ganglia.

D004827 Epilepsy A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of paroxysmal brain dysfunction due to a sudden, disorderly, and excessive neuronal discharge. Epilepsy classification systems are generally based upon: (1) clinical features of the seizure episodes (e.g., motor seizure), (2) etiology (e.g., post-traumatic), (3) anatomic site of seizure origin (e.g., frontal lobe seizure), (4) tendency to spread to other structures in the brain, and (5) temporal patterns (e.g., nocturnal epilepsy).
