Abstract:
Epilepsy is a common neurological disease accompanied with laden economic burdens and heavy social resources consuming. Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is an important subtype of the epilepsies. Our experiment was aimed to characterize the regional brain function alteration among the treatment na? ve TLE patients using ReHo. We found that elevated regional ReHo was in the left insula in the TLE patients, and the right one was cingulated, while the decreasing ReHo was in right putamen. Our result demonstrated that the key components associated with the epilepsy symptoms had altered the regional function in the TLE patients, and the disruption of cortex-thalamus-striatum loop. Our experiment provides evidence on the pathophysiological alteration in treatment na? ve TLE patients.
