Direct electrical stimulations of the temporal pole in human

In patients with drug-refractory partial epilepsy, direct electrical stimulation of the cortex is routinely applied during stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG), to define the epileptogenic area by reproducing the symptoms associated with seizure onset and/or the electrophysiological and clinical features typical of the patient's seizures. In patients with temporal lobe epilepsy, visceromotor, viscerosensitive, somesthetic symptoms, and experiential [...]
