Preserved ictal responsiveness in right mesial temporal lobe epilepsy: metabolic correlates in posterior temporal networks with FDG-PET
Consciousness impairment in right MTLE is specifically associated with posterior lateral temporal dysfunction, with broader posterior temporal vulnerability suggested by subthreshold trends. These findings identify posterior lateral temporal hypometabolism as a potential biomarker of impaired responsiveness in right MTLE and highlight the value of FDG-PET for characterizing consciousness-related network dysfunction.
