Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Do patients with extratemporal lobe epilepsy differ from healthy subjects with respect to subcortical volumes?
Answer: We concluded that extratemporal lobe epilepsy in general is not associated with diminished volumes in the studied subcortical structures, which contrasts with findings in temporal lobe epilepsy patients. Thus, both entities differ both cortically and subcortically. However, we found that small putamen volume was bilaterally associated with absent or rare generalised tonic-clonic seizures, implicating the putamen in the control of the most disabling seizure type, independent of the site of neocortical focus.
Output (English): no
