title: Mesial temporal structures and comorbid anxiety in refractory partial epilepsy.
abstract: We used quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to examine the mesial temporal structures in subjects with refractory partial epilepsy and comorbid anxiety and found preservation with a right-sided preponderance. The findings indicate a role for this brain region in the genesis of anxiety.
