We investigated the effect of statistical threshold and
various spatial masks on laterality index (LI)
calculation in determining language lateralization in
patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) evaluated
using fMRI with language tasks. Majority of patients
with TLE had some atypical lateralization, suggesting
possible plasticity/reorganization of language function
in patients with TLE.
