Abnormal TL (either increased or decreased) activity may be associated with mood instability, irritability, memory struggles, abnormal perceptions (auditory or visual illusions, periods of deja vu), periods of anxiety with little provocation, periods of spaciness or confusion, and unexplained headaches or abdominal pain. Left sided problems are more associated with irritability and dark thoughts, right sided more with anxiety and social struggles. Anticonvulsant medications often help with TL problems. Decreased activity in the posterior aspects of the left temporal lobes, in our experience is often, although not always, associated with language learning problems, especially reading and auditory processing problems. Memory loss is often associated with decreased activity in the medial temporal lobes.
