title: Fast contralateral propagation of after-discharges induced by stimulation of medial temporal lobe.
abstract: In a patient with unilateral hippocampal sclerosis, stimulation of the contralateral anterior perirhinal cortex triggered after-discharges in the sclerotic hippocampus, followed in one case by a seizure. The spatial and temporal characteristics of these responses reveal fast interconnections between the two medial temporal lobes.
