TLDR
Three well-matched groups of non-surgical, pharmacologically controlled epileptic patients with unilateral seizure foci in either the left temporal lobe, the right temporal lobe or a frontal lobe, and a normal control group were compared on several verbal and non-verbal memory tasks, revealing significant impairment of verbal memory in left temporal epileptic subjects, and significant impairment in right temporal epilepsyptic subjects.About:

The Wechsler Memory Scale—Revised
TL;DR: The Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS) as discussed by the authors is a standardized measure of memory function that was developed to evaluate patients' memory functions in relation to their other cognitive abilities, and has been widely accepted as a standard for memory assessment.

MRI-based measurement of hippocampal volume in patients with combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder.

TL;DR: A smaller right hippocampal volume in PTSD that is associated with functional deficits in verbal memory is consistent with high levels of cortisol associated with stress.

Decreased hippocampal inhibition and a selective loss of interneurons in experimental epilepsy.
TL;DR: Results suggest that the seizure-induced loss of a basket cell-activating system, rather than a loss of inhibitory basket cells themselves, may cause disinhibition and thereby play a role in the pathophysiology and pathology of the epileptic state.

Deficits in short-term memory in posttraumatic stress disorder.

TL;DR: Patients with PTSD may have deficits in short-term memory and Counseling and rehabilitation that address these deficits may be of value for PTSD patients.

Material-specific lateralization in the medial temporal lobe and prefrontal cortex during memory encoding.

TL;DR: Test the hypothesis that the lateralization of encoding processes in the MTL and frontal regions is dependent on the verbalizability of the material and demonstrate differing verbalizabilities of three classes of non-verbal stimuli using a dual-task verbal interference behavioural paradigm.

A Standardized Memory Scale for Clinical Use
TL;DR: In this article, a standardized memory scale for clinical use is presented. But it is not suitable for the task of clinical evaluation. The Journal of Psychology: Vol. 19, No. 1, No 1, pp. 87-95.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential behavioral effects in frontal lobe disease
TL;DR: In this article, the performances of groups of patients with left, right and bilateral frontal lesions were compared on a battery consisting of two tests presumed to be related specifically to left hemisphere function, another test presumed to relate to right hemisphere function and another test related to bilateral frontal lobe function.

Amnesic syndrome: consolidation or retrieval?
TL;DR: The present experiments show that amnesic patients can remember verbal material if they are tested with a method of partial information but such retention depends more on the method of retrieval than on the methods of acquisition.

Visual recognition and recall after right temporal-lobe excision in man
TL;DR: A mild impairment in the perception of complex patterns after right anterior temporal lobectomy, and a much more severe one in the retention of the perceived material are suggested.
