Physiological asymmetry of brain functions--its influence on the lateralization, symptomatology and course of the epileptic process.

Lateralization of the epileptic process in a group of 152 subjects and the relationship of epilepsy to the lateralization of brain functions was studied in smaller groups of 108 and 56 subjects. A unilateral epileptic process in the temporal limbic structures of the brain is localized in the left half of the brain twice (in 64.5%) to four times (in 80.
