Graded extent of hippocampal resection is related to neuropsychological outcomes in temporal lobe epilepsy surgery
These findings highlight the critical role of the left hippocampus in supporting both verbal and visual memory and underscore the importance of preserving hippocampal tissue during left ATL when feasible. Our results support the utility of AEC-guided tailored resections as a strategy to balance seizure control with cognitive preservation.
