Sentence examples for memory outcome after from inspiring English sources

Here we report the first study investigating brain correlates of long-term memory outcome after childhood temporal lobe surgery.

Greater pre- than postoperative activation in the ipsilateral posterior medial temporal lobe for encoding words correlated with better verbal memory outcome after left anterior temporal lobe resection.

We introduce an anatomical notion of 'reserve capacity' for language reorganization by analogy to reserve capacity for memory outcome after temporal lobe resection.

Secondly, we demonstrated that memory fMRI activation in the hippocampal regions was predictive of both verbal and visual memory outcome after left or right ATLR.

In the posterior medial temporal lobe there was a significant positive correlation, characterized by greater left than right posterior medial temporal lobe activation being correlated with better verbal memory outcome after left ATLR (R2 = 0.14, P = 0.04) (Fig. 3).

Finally memory was tested only 4 months after surgery, which might be too early for any contralateral hippocampal reserve to become fully functional; prospective follow-up studies are underway evaluating memory outcome after one year.

The influence of language lateralization on memory outcome was investigated by repeating analyses after covarying for lateralization indices.

Indices of brain structure were not associated with post-surgical change in memory function but were linked to long-term memory outcome at follow-up, most clearly after left temporal surgery: smaller resections were associated with better semantic, verbal and visual memory outcome.

Interestingly, normalization of connectivity within the DMN after surgical intervention in TLE is positively correlated with memory outcome, 52 supporting the view that (restoration of) DMN integrity is pivotal in TLE.

Preoperative language organization is likely to have influenced memory outcome (Binder et al., 2008), but cannot be assessed with language functional MRI at follow-up, as post-surgical reorganization may occur after seizure cessation (Helmstaedter et al., 2006).

In left temporal lobe epilepsy, greater left than right anterior hippocampal activation on word encoding correlated with greater verbal memory decline after left anterior temporal lobe resection, while greater left than right posterior hippocampal activation correlated with better postoperative verbal memory outcome.
