The contribution of medial temporal lobe structures to memory is well established. However recent brain-imaging studies have indicated that frontal cortex may also be involved in human memory ...

When we think about an episode of our life, whether having coffee with a friend last week or our trip to Europe last year, we may re-experience blowing on that steaming mug of cappuccino or glimpsing ...

Class I evidence supports the efficacy of surgical treatment in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy that is refractory to antiseizure medications. One major concern, however, is the risk of memory ...

A new study suggests temporal lobe epilepsy may be linked to early aging of certain brain cells. When researchers removed these aging cells in mice, seizures dropped, memory improved, and some animals ...

New research from the University of Alabama at Birmingham identifies an epigenetic cause for why patients with temporal lobe epilepsy tend to have memory loss, and suggests a potential way to reverse ...

The cerebral cortex is your brain’s outermost layer. It has a wrinkled appearance due to the grooves and folds that increase its surface area. Here, we look at the anatomy of the cerebral cortex and ...

A sizeable cavernous malformation, a small cluster of fragile blood vessels, sat snugly in the left temporal lobe. If ...
