Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (TLE) affects brain areas beyond the temporal lobes due to connections of the hippocampi and other temporal lobe structures. Using functional connectivity MRI, we determined the changes of hippocampal networks in TLE to assess for a more complete distribution of abnormality. Regions of interest (ROIs) were defined in the right and left hippocampi in three groups of participants- left TLE (n=13), right TLE (n=11) and healthy controls (n=16). Brain regions functionally connected to these ROIs were identified by correlating resting-state low-frequency fMRI Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent (BOLD) signal fluctuations. The grouped results were compared using independent sample t-test. TLE was associated with increased hippocampal connectivity involving several key areas of the limbic network (temporal lobe, insula, thalamus), frontal lobes, angular gyrus, basal ganglia, brainstem and cerebellum along with reduced connectivity involving areas of the sensorimotor cortex (visual, somatosensory, auditory, primary motor) and the default mode network (precuneus). Left TLE had more marked connectivity changes than right TLE. The observed connectivity changes in TLE indicate dysfunctional networks that underlie widespread brain involvement in TLE. There are identifiable differences in the connectivity of the hippocampi between left and right TLE.
