Right temporal seizures may raise heart rate more in males; supports hemispheric autonomic asymmetry but remains hypothesis-generating.
Does gender and lateral hemispheric asymmetry influence heart rate modulation during temporal lobe seizures?
The study demonstrates right hemispheric lateralization of sympathetic cardiac control during temporal lobe seizures, specifically in male patients.
