We aim to investigate the alterations in cortical-subcortical metabolism in temporal lobe epilepsy with impaired awareness seizures (IAS).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Regional cerebral metabolism was measured using fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (<jats:sup>18<\/jats:sup>F-FDG PET) in patients with TLE-IAS and healthy controls. All patients had a comprehensive evaluation to confirm their seizure origin and lateralization. Videos of all seizures were viewed and rated by at least two epileptologists to identify the state of consciousness when a seizure occurred. By synthesizing the seizure history, semeiology, and video EEG of all patients, as long as the patients had one seizure with impaired awareness, she\/he will be included. 76 patients with TLE-IAS and 60 age-matched healthy controls were enrolled in this study. Regional cerebral metabolic patterns were analyzed for TLE-IAS and healthy control groups using statistical parametric mapping. Besides, we compared the MRI-negative patients and MRI-positive patients with healthy controls, respectively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>There were no significant differences in the age and sex of TLE-IAS patients and healthy control. TLE-IAS patients showed extensive bilateral hypermetabolism in the frontoparietal regions, cingulate gyrus, corpus callosum, occipital lobes, basal ganglia, thalamus, brainstem, and cerebellum. The region of metabolic change was more extensive in right TLE-IAS than that of the left, including extensive hypometabolism in the ipsilateral temporal, frontal, parietal, and insular lobes. And contralateral temporal lobe, bilateral frontoparietal regions, occipital lobes, the anterior and posterior regions of the cingulate gyrus, bilateral thalamus, bilateral basal ganglia, brainstem, and bilateral cerebellum showed hypermetabolism. The TLE patients with impaired awareness seizure showed hypermetabolism in the cortical-subcortical network including the arousal system. Additionally, 48 MRI-positive and 28 MRI-negative TLE-IAS patients were included in our study. TLE-IAS patients with MRI-negative and MRI-positive were both showed hypermetabolism in the cingulate gyrus. Hypometabolism in the bilateral temporal lobe was showed in the TLE-IAS with MRI-positive.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>These findings suggested that the repetitive consciousness impairing ictal events may have an accumulative effect on brain metabolism, resulting in abnormal interictal cortical-subcortical metabolic disturbance in TLE patients with impaired awareness seizure. Understanding these metabolic mechanisms may guide future clinical treatments to prevent seizure-related awareness deficits and improve quality of life in people with TLE.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnagi.2022.849774","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,10]],"date-time":"2022-03-10T15:53:17Z","timestamp":1646927597000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Alterations in Cortical-Subcortical Metabolism in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy With Impaired Awareness Seizures"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Jiale","family":"Hou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haoyue","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ling","family":"Xiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Charlie Weige","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guang","family":"Liao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yongxiang","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Li","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2091","DOI":"10.1093\/brain\/awp086","article-title":"Impaired consciousness during temporal lobe seizures is related to increased long-distance cortical-subcortical synchronization.","volume":"132","author":"Arthuis","year":"2009","journal-title":"Brain"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"33","DOI":"10.1016\/j.yebeh.2013.09.027","article-title":"Multimodal neuroimaging investigations of alterations to consciousness: the relationship between absence epilepsy and sleep.","volume":"30","author":"Bagshaw","year":"2014","journal-title":"Epilepsy Behav."},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"173","DOI":"10.1097\/WCO.0b013e3282f36ccd","article-title":"The natural history of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy.","volume":"21","author":"Berg","year":"2008","journal-title":"Curr.
