Article Abstract
Purpose: Amnestic syndromes are acknowledged to be associated to bilateral hippocampal damage.
Materials And Methods: We briefly report the case of a young man who underwent anterior left temporal lobectomy for a medically refractory temporal lobe epilepsy due to hippocampal sclerosis with an excellent seizure and neuropsychological outcome. Approximately 10 years later, he presented with a subacute severe global amnesia and neuroimaging findings of a damage involving the contralateral mesial temporal lobe structures.
Results: A diagnosis of a possible autoimmune encephalitis was made.
Conclusions: Due to its peculiarities (compared with other cases of bilateral temporal lesions, the damage occurred on two distinct occasions), this case might contribute to shed light on the issue of the possible contralateral reorganization of memory processes subserved by the mesial temporal lobe structures chronically involved in epileptogenesis.

Downregulation of FOXC1 Modified by METTL3/YTHDF1 Axis Aggravates NLRP3-Mediated Inflammasomes Formation and Cell Pyroptosis in Epilepsy.

Epilepsy is a common chronic nervous system disease that threatens human health. However, the role of FOXC1 and its relations with pyroptosis have not been fully studied in epilepsy. Sprague-Dawley rats were obtained for constructing temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) models.

Background: Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) encompasses diverse clinical phenotypes, primarily characterized by behavioral and/or language dysfunction. A newly characterized variant, semantic behavioral variant FTD (sbvFTD), exhibits predominant right temporal atrophy with features bridging behavioral variant FTD (bvFTD) and semantic variant primary progressive aphasia (svPPA). This study investigates the longitudinal structural MRI correlates of these FTD variants, focusing on cortical and subcortical structural damage to aid differential diagnosis and prognosis.

Our understanding of how the medial temporal lobe (MTL) contributes to human cognition has advanced enormously over the past half a century. My work in the 1990s characterizing the role of recollection and familiarity processes in episodic memory led me to study the MTL's role in these two memory processes. In the current paper, I provide a personal commentary in which I describe the motivating ideas, as well as the invaluable impact of mentors, colleagues, and students that led to a series of studies showing that conscious recollection is critically dependent on the hippocampus, whereas familiarity-based judgments are dependent on regions such as the perirhinal cortex.

Introduction: This study utilized electroencephalography (EEG) to compare brain functional and effective connectivity patterns in children with reading difficulties (RD) and math difficulties (MD) during specific tasks. The aim was to identify neurophysiological distinctions between these two learning disorders, which often exhibit high comorbidity.
Methods: Data from a publicly available dataset of 28 children (11 RD, 17 MD) aged 7-13 years were analyzed.

Background: Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies examining emotional memory encoding often use event-related designs with stimuli in the form of words or pictures. Prior research has suggested differential hemispheric specialization for these stimulus types, yet no meta-analysis has directly compared the neural systems involved in each.
Methods: A meta-analysis was conducted using peer-reviewed, event-related fMRI studies.
