Description
This book is devoted to the surgical treatment of epilepsy and its consequences, and provides an extraordinary perspective on the fascinating
question of the relationship between brain and mind. Contrary to the current emphasis on statistics and objectivity, this book is dedicated
to understanding the whole person, the life and experiences of the individual. It reports on cutting-edge technical skills provided
with a human touch. This book reflects the understanding that the temporolimbic seizure originates in tissue providing the substrate
for the emotional life and memory. Finally, it emphasizes the value of clinical research – here, conducted in the course of the diagnosis
and surgical treatment of epilepsy – in helping to elucidate the relationship between brain and mind.
