Insular Cortex and Insular Epilepsy
Insular cortex epilepsy is an under-recognized, localization-related syndrome. The presence of this condition could account for the surgery treatment failure seen in a portion of patients with temporal epilepsy, as well as a portion of those with frontal and parietal lobe epilepsy. Most cases of intractable temporal epilepsy are associated with insular cortex involvement. In this review, we wil...
متن کاملAnterior insular cortex and emotional awareness.
This paper reviews the foundation for a role of the human anterior insular cortex (AIC) in emotional awareness, defined as the conscious experience of emotions. We first introduce the neuroanatomical features of AIC and existing findings on emotional awareness. Using empathy, the awareness and understanding of other people's emotional states, as a test case, we then present evidence to demonstr...
متن کاملStructural abnormalities in patients with insular/peri-insular epilepsy: spectrum, frequency, and pharmacoresistance.
SUMMARY Between 2002 and 2010, a total of 48 patients were seen at our epilepsy clinic with insular/peri-insular cortex epilepsy. Review of their MR imaging scans revealed a neoplastic lesion in 27% of patients, a malformation of cortical development in 21%, a vascular malformation in 19%, and atrophy/gliosis from an acquired insult in 17%. MR imaging results were normal in 4 patients. Other mi...
متن کاملMorphometry of human insular cortex and insular volume reduction in Williams syndrome.
Functional imaging in humans and anatomical data in monkeys have implicated the insula as a multimodal sensory integrative brain region. The topography of insular connections is organized by its cytoarchitectonic regions. Previous attempts to measure the insula have utilized either indirect or automated methods. This study was designed to develop a reliable method for obtaining volumetric magne...
متن کامل[Surgical anatomy of the insular cortex].
OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to investigate the surgical anatomy of the insular cortex, morphology and vascularization of the insula and adjacent opercula in terms of transsylvian and transcortical approaches, and identification of the permissible anatomical boundaries for resection of glial tumors of the insula. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was conducted on 18 anatomical specim...
