Subclinical seizures (SCS) have rarely been considered in the diagnosis and therapy of epilepsy and have not been systematically analyzed in studies on seizure prediction. Here, we investigate whether predictions of subclinical seizures are feasible and how their occurrence may affect the performance of prediction algorithms. Using the European database of long-term recordings of surface and in...

Behavioral and neuropsychological studies have suggested that the right hemisphere has a special advantage in the visual recognition of logograms. While this long-standing 'right hemisphere hypothesis' has never been investigated systematically by previous neuroimaging studies, a candidate neural substrate of such asymmetry might be found within the occipitotemporal cortex that is known to exhi...

CORRESPONDENCE Dear Sir, I was pleased to see Lebrun's ~ review of the important topic of ictal verbal behaviour. However , I believe he did not emphasize enough how careful analysis of ictal and postictal language can assist in seizure focus localization. Koerner et al 2, and later Gabr et al 3, showed that careful review of ictal and postictal language during video/EEG recorded seizures provi...

Recent imaging studies have found that in simple arithmetic processing, addition is lateralized to the right hemisphere, whereas multiplication to the left. Here we aimed to investigate the cognitive mechanism underlying complicated arithmetic processing with a dual task paradigm. Participants were asked to complete a calculation task (addition or multiplication) and a letter judgment task (rhy...

The aim of the present study was to show that space perception depends on sensori-motor experience. We induced spatial biases by a non-conflictual lateralized sensori-motor task on twenty seven right-handed healthy volunteers (left-to-right readers). After a pre-test and before a post-test, which assessed visuo-motor and perceptual subjective midpoint in line bisection, participants performed a...

Seizure is an important complication following ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke in older adults. Post-stroke seizure can be classified as early late according to the onset time after stroke. There a 71% risk for further seizures unprovoked poststroke seizure, which referred epilepsy. Common factors developing epilepsy include severity, cortical involvement, and seizure. The use of anti-seizure me...
