Neurosurgeon Robert W. Rand, but is desirable in cases where ordinary EEGs, made with electrodes placed on the scalp, fail to show clearly the side of the brain in which the misfiring is more pronounced. The deeply implanted electrodes, penetrating the temporal lobe to reach the hippocampus* or even part of the cerebellum, sometimes reveal focal areas of electrical misfiring that surface EEGs have missed entirely. If there is misfiring on only one side, it can usually be detected readily, and relieved by surgical removal of the proper piece of brain tissue. If there is misfiring on both sides, surgeons...
