Presence of Herpes Simplex DNA in Surgical Tissue From Human Epileptic Seizure Foci Detected by PCR
Arch Neurol 54:954-960, Sanders,V.J.,et al, 1997
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
There was a statistically significant difference in the frequency of HSV positive surgical specimens from monofocal seizure epicenters compared with nonepilepsy control specimens.These data suggest an association of the virus with seizure activity.All specimens positive for HSV(surgical specimens and control specimens)should be examined to determine the activity or latency state of the virus and cellular localization.
