متن کاملUse of preoperative functional MRI to predict verbal memory decline after temporal lobe epilepsy surgery.
PURPOSE Verbal memory decline is a frequent complication of left anterior temporal lobectomy (L-ATL). The goal of this study was to determine whether preoperative language mapping using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is useful for predicting which patients are likely to experience verbal memory decline after L-ATL. METHODS Sixty L-ATL patients underwent preoperative language map...
