Abstract Objective The Wada test (WT) is increasingly being replaced by functional magnetic
resonance imaging (fMRI) to evaluate memory lateralization before temporal lobe epilepsy …

Accurate identification of the cognitive risks associated with surgery, based on an
individual's personal risk profile rather than the generic risks associated with the procedure …

In recent years, the clinical usefulness of the Wada test (WT) has been debated among
researchers in the field. Therefore, we aimed to assess its contribution to the prediction of …

Preoperative mapping of language and declarative memory functions in temporal lobe
epilepsy (TLE) patients is essential since they frequently encounter deterioration of these …

Background and Objectives Risk for memory decline is a substantial concern in patients with
temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) undergoing anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL). Although prior …

Introduction Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can be used to assess language
and memory function as part of pre-surgical decision making in refractory epilepsy. Although …

Resective surgery is the treatment of choice for one-third of adult patients with focal, drug-
resistant epilepsy. This procedure is associated with substantial clinical and cognitive risks …

Background Lateralized alterations in hippocampal function in the resting-state have been
demonstrated for patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). However, resting-state fMRI of …

Objective Clinically employable functional MRI (fMRI) memory paradigms are not yet
established for pediatric patient epilepsy surgery workups. Seeking to establish such a …

Background Epilepsy surgery offers an effective treatment to achieve seizure freedom in
refractory temporal lobe epilepsy. Since left temporal lobe surgery can be associated with …
