Abstract
Ablation of seizure foci represents a crucial therapeutic approach for epilepsy. Traditionally, the seizure foci are predominantly located in the anterior hippocampus and amygdala. However, recent research by Ivan Soltesz and his colleagues described the posterior hippocampal fasciola cinereum (FC) as a region activated during seizures. Their findings demonstrate that inhibition and ablation of FC reduce seizures frequency. Therefore, FC emerges as a critical seizure node within the posterior hippocampus, playing an important role in epilepsy treatment.
