Abstract

The interictal and ictal EEG activity in the basal ganglia in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy were studied during invasive EEG monitoring. Eight epilepsy surgery candidates, each with a proven mesiotemporal seizure-onset zone, participated in the study. We used two invasive EEG methods to determine the seizure-onset zone. In both methods, diagonal electrodes were targeted into the amygdalohippocampal complex via a frontal approach and were passed through the basal ganglia with several leads. We analyzed 16 partial epileptic seizures, four of which became secondarily generalized. No epileptic interictal or ictal discharges were noticed in the basal ganglia. The interictal activity in the basal ganglia was a mixture of low-voltage beta activity and medium-voltage alpha-theta activity. When the ictal paroxysmal activity remained localized to the seizure-onset zone, the activity of the basal ganglia did not change. The spread of epileptic activity to other cortical structures was associated with the basal ganglia EEG slowing to a theta-delta range of 3-7 Hz. This slowing was dependent on the spread of ictal discharge within the ipsilateral temporal lobe (related to the investigated basal ganglia structures); alternatively, the...Continue Reading

Basal Ganglia

Basal Ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei in the brain associated with control of voluntary motor movements, procedural and habit learning, emotion, and cognition. Here is the latest research.
