People with this disorder typically present with varying degrees of impairment in memory and language functioning. In this talk, I will present research examining the functional connectivity of the hippocampus in healthy controls and people with temporal lobe epilepsy. We find that the anterior and posterior hippocampus have distinguishable patterns of functional connectivity and this overall pattern is maintained in temporal lobe epilepsy. However, the epileptogenic hippocampus has reduced connectivity to the rest of the default mode network, and the degree to which this connectivity is impaired relates to clinical measures of memory ability. Finally, we expanded our scope of analysis to look at whole brain functional connections, finding that temporal lobe epilepsy is characterized by reduced intra-network functional connectivity, particularly within the default mode network and<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="SpellE">somatomotor</span>network, with increased internetwork functional connectivity.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: justify; line-height: 15pt;"><b class=""><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">The Feindel Virtual Brain and Mind (VBM) Seminar Series</span></b><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class=""><br class="">Advancing the vision of Dr. William Feindel (1918–2014), former Director of the Neuro (1972–1984) and Founding Director of the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre (1984), to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms.
