Fast contralateral propagation of after-discharges induced by stimulation of medial temporal lobe

J Clin Neurophysiol. 2004 Nov-Dec;21(6):399-403. doi: 10.1097/01.wnp.0000148129.37206.33.

Abstract

In a patient with unilateral hippocampal sclerosis, stimulation of the contralateral anterior perirhinal cortex triggered after-discharges in the sclerotic hippocampus, followed in one case by a seizure. The spatial and temporal characteristics of these responses reveal fast interconnections between the two medial temporal lobes.
