Interictal Patterns of Cerebral Glucose Metabolism, Perfusion, and Magnetic Field in Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

Abstract

MEG-ECD was distributed in varied ways with the disorder and uncoupling of glucose metabolism and perfusion in the temporal lobe. These results may help resolve the clinical controversy over the possibility that the cortical irritative area generating the interictal epileptic discharge is distinct from the ictal-onset area, and also may have some functional implications in identifying different brain compartments in the generation of metabolic signals.
