OBJECTIVE Functional MRI (FMRI) was used to investigate the effect of medial temporal lobe (MTL) pathology on activation of language encoding areas in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). METHODS Whole-brain FMRI was obtained. Twenty-eight patients with either left TLE (LTLE) or right TLE (RTLE) performed a semantic decision task alternating with an auditory perceptual task. RESULTS Activation of language areas in the frontal and parietal lobes was similar in both groups, with no group differences in the total number of active voxels. However, the RTLE group showed much stronger activation of the left MTL, including the hippocampus, parahippocampal gyrus, and collateral sulcus, than did the LTLE group. CONCLUSIONS Activation of the left MTL during semantic encoding discriminates patients with RTLE and LTLE. This FMRI technique may potentially be of use in determining memory lateralization and for predicting the side of seizure focus in TLE.

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).
