Abstract: Methods for treating temporal lobe epilepsy, associated neurological disorders, and other patient functions are disclosed. Methods for treating patients in accordance with several embodiments include implanting a signal delivery device subdurally proximate to a target neural site at a cortical location of a patient. The method can further include applying electrical signals to the target neural site via the signal delivery device, on a generally continual basis at a frequency of from about 0.9 Hz to about 250 Hz. The electrical signals can be applied to epileptic patients to at least reduce ictal and interictal epileptic senicity, and/or to patients functioning at normal or better levels to improve patient functioning.
