Abstract: Temporal lobe epilepsy is common and can be difficult to treat. The cause of seizures in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy is unknown. We use anatomical and electrophysiological techniques to evaluate animal models of temporal lobe epilepsy, including sea lions, to test the hippocampal formation’s role in generating spontaneous seizures.
