Type II complex partial seizures: poor results of anterior temporal lobectomy

Neurology
G O Walsh, A V Delgado-Escueta

Abstract

Reasons why nine patients with Type II complex partial seizures continue to have disabling attacks after anterior temporal lobectomy were sought. Videotaped seizures revealed extratemporal features during onset of ictus, such as postural, contraversive head, eyes, and focal motor movements in four patients, and automatic ambulation, running, and motions similar to bicycling action or "bringing in a catch of fish" in five patients. Depth electrographic patterns also suggested a focus outside the hippocampus or amygdala in seven patients. Two patients had frontal lobe dysfunction on neuropsychological tests. Anterior temporal lobectomy is not indicated in Type II complex partial seizures.

Amygdala and Midbrain Dopamine

The midbrain dopamine system is widely studied for its involvement in emotional and motivational behavior. Some of these neurons receive information from the amygdala and project throughout the cortex. When the circuit and transmission of dopamine is disrupted symptoms may present. Here is the latest research on the amygdala and midbrain dopamine.

Amygdala: Sensory Processes

Amygdalae, nuclei clusters located in the temporal lobe of the brain, play a role in memory, emotional responses, and decision-making. Here is the latest research on sensory processes in the amygdala.
