Abstract
Abstract: The results of volumetric studies of the amygdala and hippocampus in patients with epilepsy who also have psychopathology are described. The main data relate to the increased size of the amygdala in patients with epilepsy and psychosis. The associations between the amygdala and affective disorders, notably dysthymia and euphoria, are also discussed.Keywords
