Results of complex clinical electrophysiological examination of 110 patients with temporal epilepsy, who underwent implantation of electrodes into different brain structures for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, are presented. It has been found that limbico-temporal structures at the moment of sezure development are functioning as united functional system with predominant involvement of amigdala into ep. ileptogenesis. It is illustrated, that low-frequency electrostimulation of neuronal structures of temporal lobe, surrounding epileptic foci, can exert antiepileptic clinical electrophysiological effect.
