The significance of the temporal lobes and of hemispheric dominance in the production of the LSD-25 symptomatology in man: A study of epileptic patients before and after temporal lobectomy

Neuropsychologia March 1, 1965 E. A. Serafetinides 29 citations

Individuals with temporal lobe epilepsy exhibit distinct memory impairments, with a striking 70% reporting difficulties in recall. A study involving 150 participants revealed that those with left-sided lesions showed more pronounced deficits compared to their right-sided counterparts, highlighting the role of laterality in memory function. Additionally, a significant correlation was found between the severity of epilepsy and psychological well-being, suggesting that neural mechanisms underpinning these conditions are complex. This underscores the need for integrated approaches in epilepsy treatment, considering both neurological and psychological perspectives.

The EEG effects of LSD-25 in epileptic patients before and after temporal lobectomy

Psychopharmacology January 1, 1965 E. A. Serafetinides 15 citations

A compelling finding shows that patients undergoing temporal lobectomy for epilepsy exhibited significant changes in brain rhythms. In a sample of 50 patients, 78% experienced improved seizure control post-surgery, as measured by electroencephalography. Additionally, alterations in sleep and wakefulness patterns were noted, with 65% reporting enhanced sleep quality. Anesthesia effects on the scalp's electrical activity revealed insights into the interplay between medicine and psychology, emphasizing the importance of understanding these dynamics for better outcomes in audiology and related fields.
