“…For example, it would be possible to examine the disprepancy between VerMSS and VisMSS, analogous to the VIQ-PIQ discrepancy sometimes employed with the WAIS-R. Butters et al (1988, this issue) have provided evidence of the potential utility of comparisons between scaled scores from the General Memory, AttentionKoncentration, and Delayed Memory indexes from the WMS-R. The proportion of material recalled on immediate-vs. delayedrecall trials from the WMS-R has already been shown to be useful in the discrimination of various clinical groups (Bornstein, Drake, & Pakalnis, 1988;Butters et al, 1988). Clinical necessity and the creativity of future investigators will likely produce other potentially useful indexes.…”

“…Several authors, however, found no learning and memory deficits in MTLE patients with unilateral lesions located on the right hemisphere, although confirming the existence of episodic learning and memory deficits for verbal content in MTLE affecting the left hemisphere [11][12][13][14][15] .…”

Background: In medial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE), previous studies addressing the hemispheric laterality of epileptogenic focus and its relationship with learning and memory processes have reported controversial findings. Objective: To compare the performance of MTLE patients according to the location of the epileptogenic focus on the left (MTLEL) or right temporal lobe (MTLER) on tasks of episodic learning and memory for verbal and visual content. Methods: One hundred patients with MTLEL and one hundred patients with MTLER were tested with the following tasks: the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) and the Logical Memory-WMS-R to evaluate verbal learning and memory; and the Rey Visual Design Learning Test (RVDLT) and the Visual Reproduction-WMS-R to evaluate visual learning and memory. Results: The MTLEL sample showed significantly worse performance on the RAVLT (p < 0.005) and on the Logical Memory tests (p < 0.01) than MTLER subjects. However, there were no significant between-group differences in regard to the visual memory tests. Discussion: Our findings suggest that verbal learning and memory abilities are dependent on the structural and functional integrity of the left temporal lobe, while visual abilities are less dependent on the right temporal lobe.

“…Adverse effects are the major limitations of AEDs (Shannon and Love 2007; Weintraub et al 2007). Cognitive impairment with abnormal behavior has been reported in more than half of the epileptics due to seizures (Rodin et al 1977;Bornstein et al 1988). A cascade of biological events is reported to underlie the development and progression of epilepsy.…”
