Subclinical epileptiform process in patients with unipolar depression and its indirect psychophysiological manifestations

Abstract

According to recent clinical findings epileptiform activity in temporolimbic structures may cause depressive and other psychiatric symptoms that may occur ndependently of any seizure in patient’s history. Measures reflecting interhemispheric information transfer in patients with depression, such as electrodermal activity (EDA), might be related to the psychosensory symptoms.
