摘要

Objective Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) is one of the most common types of intractable epilepsy. The hippocampus and amygdala are two crucial structures of the mesial temporal lobe and play important roles in the epileptogenic network of MTLE. This study aimed to explore the effective connectivity among the hippocampus, amygdala, and temporal neocortex and to determine whether differences in effective connectivity exist between MTLE patients and non-MTLE patients. Methods This study recruited 20 patients from a large cohort of drug-resistant epilepsy patients, of whom 14 were MTLE patients. Single-pulse electrical stimulation (SPES) was performed to acquire cortico-cortical evoked potentials (CCEPs). The root mean square (RMS) was used as the metric of the magnitude of CCEP to represent the effective connectivity. We then conducted paired and independent sample t-tests to assess the directionality of the effective connectivity. Results In both MTLE patients and non-MTLE patients, the directional connectivity from the amygdala to the hippocampus was stronger than that from the hippocampus to the amygdala (P < 0.01); the outward connectivity from the amygdala to the cortex was stronger than the inward connectivity from the cortex to the amygdala (P < 0.01); the amygdala had stronger connectivity to the neocortex than the hippocampus (P < 0.01). In MTLE patients, the neocortex had stronger connectivity to the hippocampus than to the amygdala (P < 0.01). No significant differences in directional connectivity were noted between the two groups. Conclusions A unique effective connectivity pattern among the hippocampus, amygdala, and temporal neocortex was identified through CCEPs analysis. This study may aid in our understanding of physiological and pathological networks in the brain and inspire neurostimulation protocols for neurological and psychiatric disorders.
