Experimental basotemporal epilepsy in the cat

Abstract
Based on the fact that, in temporal lobe epilepsy in man, pathologic lesions are sometimes found at the center of the focus, an attempt was made to produce epileptic foci experimentally. In this report, two different variants of experimental basotemporal epilepsy obtained by a new method are described. Lesions in one type were confined within the limits of the cornu Ammonia at certain particular localities of this structure. In the second type, the lesions were in the lateral amygdaloid nucleus. Symptoms and electrographic recordings in the attacks, as well as the pathology of the lesion, are described.
