Eighty-four epileptic patients, with seizures originating in either the
left or the right hemisphere, were evaluated to determine the relations
between lateralization of epileptogenic foci, gender, and depression. Our
data suggest that male subjects, but not female subjects, with left-sided
foci may be particularly vulnerable to depression.
