| Abstract | This is a review paper about neuropsychological data during ictal as well as postictal periods in patients with epilepsy, which we have investigated on-site at Utano Reginal Epilepsy Center. After a brief summary of Kyoto-school of neuropsychology, our research there is summarized into 3 parts, that is, recovery processes of non-fluent types of aphasia during postictal periods, an interpretation of neologisms during postictal periods following focal impaired awareness seizures in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy based on Brown's theory of paraphasia, and a finding of developmental and micro-genetic (Brown) parallelism of aura-sensations. While brain researches, nowadays, are overwhelmingly done on the basis of localistic viewpoints, psychiatric and holistic ones may invite clinicians into a window leading to a new world where we afford to relish neuropsychology by way of apparently old-fashioned, but actually still active method. |
