Abstract
We were able to demonstrate that asymmetry of hippocampal fMRI-activation in unilateral MTLE patients is determined by the side of seizure focus, thus indicating the relative functional integrity of the hippocampi. This is corroborated by the finding that greater activation of the to-be-resected hippocampus leads to stronger verbal memory decline after surgery.
