Linking Memory Impairment to Structural Connectivity in Extrahippocampal Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Surgery
Our study highlights the role of structural connectivity alterations in postoperative memory decline in extrahippocampal TLE surgery. These findings expand the traditional understanding of hippocampal integrity in memory function towards the importance of broader structural networks. Individualized, connectome-informed surgical approaches might protect neurocognitive function.
