Fig. 1From: LGI1 expression and human brain asymmetry: insights from patients with LGI1-antibody encephalitisThe pretreatment 18F-FDG-PET images of patients with LGI1-antibody encephalitis. a Axial (upper row) and coronal views (lower row) of the hippocampus: out of the 13 patients, nine (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, and 12) had increased FDG uptake on the left side, two (11, 13) had on the right side, and two (1, 9) had no laterality. b Axial (upper row) and coronal views (lower row) of the basal ganglia: seven (1, 2, 4, 8, 9, 11, and 12) had asymmetric FDG uptake in the basal ganglia. Among them, four (2, 4, 9, and 12) had increase uptake on the left side, and three (1, 8, and 11) on the right side. All patients were right-handed except one (11), who was left-handed. R = right, L = left, 18F-FDG-PET = 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron emission tomography, LGI1 = leucine-rich glioma-inactivated 1Back to article page
