Description of the research topic:

Regarding the etiology, temporal lobe epilepsy can be divided into three groups: mesial temporal sclerosis-, brain tumor- and cortical developmental malformation-related epilepsies. During our work, surgically removed neo- and archicortical (hippocampal formation, subiculum, entorhinal cortex) structures due to therapy of temporal lobe epilepsies will be examined. Examinations will be carried out with light and electron microscopic methods (immunohistochemistry, immunoelectron microscopy). Our aim is to study cell death, cell proliferation, synaptic reorganization and other morphological alterations that indicate abnormal neuronal migration. We search those common morphological changes in epilesies due to different etiologies which, independently of the cause of the epilepsy, is the consequence of the hyperexcitation. We aim to discover neuropathologoical changes that may clarify the cause of epilepsy.
