Since the 1960s several theories have developed on the epilepsy of Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky. Probably the most exciting and still actual question might be the subject of the "ecstatic aura", he described in his novels based on his own experiences. During this extremely rare seizure onset the patients experience a strong sense of happiness, harmony and wholeness. The symptomatogenic zone of ecstatic seizures were considered to be of temporal lobe origin for a long time. Lately though this theory seems to be questioned based on the results of SPECT and deep brain EEG monitoring techniques in addition to the enrichment of our knowledge concerning the function of the insular cortex.
Literary and scientific overview on the subject of Dostoyevsky's epilepsy, with special concern to his ecstatic seizures.
According to new electrophysiology and imaging techniques ecstatic seizures--including the seizure onset of Dostoyevsky--could rather be connected to the insular cortex.
自20世纪60年代以来，针对费奥多尔·米哈伊洛维奇·陀思妥耶夫斯基的癫痫症已形成了多种理论。或许最令人兴奋且至今仍具现实意义的问题可能是他在小说中基于自身经历所描述的“狂喜先兆”。在这种极为罕见的癫痫发作起始阶段，患者会体验到强烈的幸福感、和谐感与完整感。长期以来，狂喜性癫痫的症状发生区被认为起源于颞叶。然而，近来基于单光子发射计算机断层扫描（SPECT）结果、深部脑电监测技术以及我们对岛叶皮质功能认识的丰富，这一理论似乎受到了质疑。
对陀思妥耶夫斯基癫痫症这一主题进行文献和科学综述，特别关注他的狂喜性癫痫发作。
根据新的电生理学和成像技术，狂喜性癫痫发作——包括陀思妥耶夫斯基的癫痫发作起始——可能更与岛叶皮质相关。
