Abstract
The impairment is a crucial topic for patients with temporal lobe epilepsy memory, due to the fact that the mesial temporal lobe is a key region for processing memory in human brain. Although many researchers found out which are the significant regions and pathways in matter of plasticity for recovery the deficiency of memory in patients with epilepsy, the main processes and regions involved in reorganization remained unclear. The aim of the project is to investigate which are the main areas and neural pathways for reorganization in unilateral hippocampal sclerosis or specifically in right and left sided epilepsy. There is evidence that memory performances (especially visuo-spatial, verbal, recognition, etc.) are affected by epilepsy. However, different memory tasks and behavioural performances should be under consideration for assessing and correctly interpretating the actual possibilities of reorganization.È consentito all'utente scaricare e condividere i documenti disponibili a testo pieno in UNITESI UNIPV nel rispetto della licenza Creative Commons del tipo CC BY NC ND.
