• Abstract

  Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (TLE) corresponds to 40% of all cases of epilepsy in adults, of which 70% are refractory to pharmacologic treatment. The successful identification of the epileptogenic lesion is an important goal in the treatment of patients with refractory epilepsy. Nevertheless, the histopathological basis for the MRI signal is still poorly understood and correlations between MRI …

• Abstract

  Epidemiological studies indicates that the elderly population should quadruple between 2000 and 2050. In this context , the attention to morphological studies on normal brain aging has been increased. This interest is motivated by the idea that the cognitive decline and loss of neurons are associated. Whereas dendritic branching of neurons is essential for the connectivity of neural circu…

• Abstract

  The temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) associated with hippocampal sclerosis is the most common epilepsy in adults. Different studies have shown that there are changes in the structure of the hippocampus, as cell loss and different rearrangements cell caused by epilepsy. The temporal lobe is associated with cognitive functions, responsible for cognitive impairment and memory dysfunction. Studie…
