“…Such observations have been previously reported (Epstein & Hill, 1966 ; Vercueil, 2005 ) and might result from concomitant ictal activity, as suggested by our finding that patients who had seizure‐related dreams were twice as likely to have actual sleep‐related epileptic seizures. A relationship between recurring dreams and temporal lobe seizures has been reported (Epstein, 1964 ). In our sample, we did not identify any association between recurring dreams and seizures occurring during sleep.…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…In previous reviews [23,48,49], autoscopic experiences are mentioned as a rare but classic symptom in parietal lobe epilepsy. However it has been reported in association with temporal lobe epilepsy [50]. There are few reported cases of postictal autoscopic phenomena [51].…”

“…Consistent with the functional attributes of the inferotemporal cortex and the symbolic nature of conversion, the Dream Work subscale and Animal scale are more indicative of conversion than dissociative hysteria. It has long been recognized that excessive, synchronous firing patterns of the neurons in the temporolimbic region of the brain—that is, temporal lobe epilepsy—is often accompanied by recurrent nightmares that feature persecutory and symbolic elements (e.g., Epstein, 1964; Silvestri & Bromfield, 2004). On the one hand, the predominance of ego-ideal and persecutory themes in dreams may underscore the significance of analogous issues in the inner life of those with dissociative-conversion hysteria.…”
