abstract aim and background: evaluation of cognition is fundamental for every comprehensive epilepsy program. we sought to conduct this study to assess memory state of patients with refractory temporal lobe epilepsy before decision for epilepsy surgery. method and materials: in a case-control study, 20 patients with right temporal lobe epilepsy and 20 patients with left temporal lobe epilepsy w...

in recent years, the effects of exercise on nervous system, spatial memory andmotor function in the senescence period have received the attention of researchers.as the age increases, some functions of nervous system such as spatial memory areweakened. thus, the effect of aerobic exercises including swimming and runningon learning, spatial memory and motor function was investigated in old rats. ...

Memory is thought to be sparsely encoded throughout multiple brain regions forming unique memory trace. Although evidence has established that the amygdala is a key brain site for memory storage and retrieval of auditory conditioned fear memory, it remains elusive whether the auditory brain regions may be involved in fear memory storage or retrieval. To investigate this possibility, we systemat...
