Here we propose the term hypercognitive seizures as a descriptor for seizures that manifest as a transient mental experience of intrusive thoughts or words that do not consist mainly of reminiscence. Currently, the term forced thinking is used to describe this uncommon seizure semiology, which has also been elicited by electrical brain stimulation. The available literature on forced thinking shows discordant interpretations of its meaning, justifying the suggestion of a new descriptor. In this paper, we would like to suggest and explain the term hypercognitive seizure and argue that this type of seizure lateralizes to the dominant hemisphere.
在此，我们提出“超认知性癫痫发作”这一术语，用于描述表现为短暂的侵入性思维或言语的精神体验且主要并非由回忆构成的癫痫发作。目前，“强迫性思维”这一术语用于描述这种不常见的癫痫发作症状学，其也可由脑电刺激诱发。关于强迫性思维的现有文献对其含义的解释不一致，这证明了提出一个新描述词的合理性。在本文中，我们希望提出并解释“超认知性癫痫发作”这一术语，并认为这种类型的癫痫发作定位于优势半球。
