The Neuropsychology of Frontal Lobe Epilepsy: A Selective Review of 5 Years of Progress
نویسندگان
چکیده
The neuropsychological consequences of Frontal Lobe Epilepsy (FLE) are not as well characterized as those of temporal lobe epilepsy. In the past 5 years though, new advances in behavioral assessment and imaging techniques have begun to more fully elucidate the cognitive, behavioral, and emotional sequelae of these conditions, especially in children. This review summarizes the recent advances in understanding the neuropsychology of FLE, and points out future directions for growth in this rapidly

متن کاملMemory, amnesia, and frontal lobe dysfunction
Lesions restricted to the frontal lobes do not ordinarily produce an amnesic syndrome in man. However, recent research has demonstrated that amnesic patients who are characterized by signs of frontal lobe pathology show patterns of memory performance that are different from those shown by amnesic patients without frontal signs. This article reviews evidence concerning the influence of frontal l...
متن کاملAttentional control in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy.
Across different studies, patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) demonstrate impairments on numerous measures of attentional control that are classically associated with frontal lobe functioning. One aspect of attentional control that has not been examined in TLE is the ability to execute two modality-specific tasks concurrently. We sought to examine the status of dual-task coordination in ...
متن کاملA meta-analytic review of verbal fluency performance in patients with traumatic brain injury.
A meta-analysis of 30 studies with 1,269 participants was conducted to investigate the sensitivity of tests of verbal fluency to the presence of traumatic brain injury (TBI). As has been found for patients with focal frontal lobe injuries (but not for patients with focal temporal lobe lesions), TBI patients were comparably impaired on tests of phonemic and semantic fluency. The phonemic fluency...
