MTL anatomy. (A) Coronal slices from T1-weighted MP-RAGE sequence illustrating the lesions in LSJ. (B) Quantitative evaluation of MTL tissue volume in LSJ relative to controls. Segmented subregions of the MTL cortex and hippocampus include parahippocampal cortex (parahipp), entorhinal cortex, perirhinal cortex, subiculum, CA1, and CA2/CA3/dentate gyrus (CA2/3/DG). Error bars denote +-1 SD. R = right; L = left.
