EEG Activity After Brain Death?

MATTERS ARISING: Duncan et al reply:

“…Sphenoidal electrodes and EEG are therefore likely to remain the main lateralising investigation in most cases of temporal lobe epilepsy, and results of CT, MRI, SPECT and PET should be correlated with electrophysiological data, to improve selection ofpatients who can benefit from temporal lobectomy. 4 Sperling MR, Mendius JR, Engel J. Mesial temporal spikes: a simultaneous comparison of sphenoidal, nasopharyngeal and ear electrodes. Epilepsia 1986;27:81-6.…”
