The Little-Known Ribbon-Shaped Piriform Cortex: A Key Node in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy—Anatomical Insights and Its Potential for Surgical Treatment

The piriform cortex (PC) plays a pivotal role in the onset and propagation of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), making it a potential target for therapeutic interventions. This review delves into the anatomy and epileptogenic connections of the PC, highlighting its significance in seizure initiation and...
