PG - 102714 LID - S2213-1582(21)00158-3 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.nicl.2021.102714 [doi] LID - 102714 AB - OBJECTIVE: To explore the structural and functional reorganization of contralateral hippocampus in patients with unilateral mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE) who achieved seizure-freedom after anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL). METHODS: We obtained high-resolution structural MRI and resting-state functional MRI data in 28 unilateral mTLE patients and 29 healthy controls. Patients were scanned before and three and 24 months after surgery while controls were scanned only once. Hippocampal gray matter volume (GMV) and functional connectivity (FC) were assessed. RESULTS: No obvious GMV changes were observed in contralateral hippocampus before and after successful surgery. Before surgery, ipsilateral hippocampus showed increased FC with ipsilateral insula (INS) and temporoparietal junction (TPJ), but decreased FC with widespread bilateral regions, as well as contralateral hippocampus. After successful ATL, contralateral hippocampus showed: (1) decreased FC with ipsilateral INS at three months follow-up, without further changes; (2) decreased FC with ipsilateral TPJ, postcentral gyrus and rolandic operculum at three months, with an obvious increase at 24 months follow-up; (3) increased FC with bilateral medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) and superior frontal gyrus (SFG) at three months follow-up, without further changes. CONCLUSIONS: Successful ATL may not lead to an obvious structural reorganization in contralateral hippocampus. Surgical manipulation may lead to a transient FC reduction of contralateral hippocampus. Increased FC between contralateral hippocampus and bilateral MPFC and SFG may be related to postoperative functional remodeling. CI - Copyright (c) 2021 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Inc.
