This study investigates morphological alterations in patients with left TLE. Compared with HCs, cortical thickness was increased extensively in both cerebral hemispheres, both amygdala were significantly bigger and no difference was found in hippocampi and thalami.
Figure 2. Cortical thickness in patients vs HC shown on the inflated surface of the brain. Red and blue show regions with significantly thicker cortex in the patients and HCs respectively.
