Together with hippocampus, the amygdala is important in epileptogenic network of patients temporal lobe epilepsy. Recently, an increase volumes (i.e. enlargement) has been proposed as morphological biomarker a subtype epilepsy without MRI abnormalities, although other data suggest that this finding might be unspecific and not exclusive to In these studies, treated single entity, while instead it composed different nuclei, each peculiar function connection. By adopting recently developed methodology amygdala's subnuclei parcellation based high-resolution T
