[Comparison of the changes in bioelectric activity recorded simultaneously from the amygdaloid body and the hippocampus and from the cranial surface during the stereoelectroencephalographic examination in epilepsy].

The authors analysed 95 SEEG records in epileptics with prevalent temporal-lobe changes comparing the bioelectric activity of the brain recorded simultaneously in the amygdala, hippocampus, temporal cortex and cranial surface during these investigations and relating them to EEG records obtained before the operation. In these records pathological elements typical of epilepsy were found occurring in different variants synchronously or asynchronously in leads at three above mentioned levels. In the findings reported attention is called to occurrence of seizure discharges in the amygdala and hippocampus which had no equivalent in cortical or cranial bioactivity records. In the light of these SEEG observations and a survey of the literature the authors stress the diagnostic importance of SEEG investigations in epilepsy.

[Individual variability of the volume of the amygdaloid body in the human brain].

Measuring the almond nucleus (with the cytoarchitectonic control of its boundaries) on the serial sections of 14 adults of both sexes and different ages (18 cerebral hemispheres), the authors revealed considerable individual spatial differences in its size. In its extremes these differences may be two-fold. As these individual differences in the almond nucleus (AN) were independent of the brain weight of the subjects examined, it is suggested that these differences are determined by the variable functional specificity of the AN in different people.
