A retrospective magnetic resonance (MR) imaging study was performed in 41 right-handed patients with presumed mesial sclerosis who underwent surgery for medically intractable, complex partial seizures of temporal lobe origin. The ability of each of five different MR imaging-based tests to lateralize...
