Abstract
Electrodermal activity (EDA) reflects sympathetic activation within the autonomic
nervous system. Activity within prefrontal cortices and limbic structures strongly influence
ipsilateral EDA (Critchley HD Neuroscientist 2002;8:132-42). This relationship suggests that
unilateral dysfunction of cortical activity may affect the direction of EDA lateralization. We
hypothesized that hemispheric location of seizure onset in patients with epilepsy may be related
to ipsilaterally increased sympathetic skin response as evidenced by EDA asymmetry.
