Models and mechanisms of experimental epilepsies.

abstract：:The chronicity and severity of epilepsy, as well as the presence of temporal lobe toci, appear to correlate with psychopathology. A high prevalence of psychopathology has been reported among patients who are candidates for anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL). A review of the literature indicates that episodic psychosis ...
