A recent scientific study revealed the fine parts of the brain that plays a pivotal role in remembering words (verbal memory), and how these parts are affected by a common type of epilepsy known as the temporal lobe epilepsy.
This type of epilepsy arises in the temporal lobe on both sides of the head, which is the part responsible for treating memory and language.
The study was conducted by a team of neuroscientists at the University College of London in the United Kingdom, published in the “Breen Communichens” magazine, and wrote about Yurrick Alrt.
This study, which is the first of its kind, is highlighted on the complex and distributed network in the parts of the brain that are involved in the formation and storage of verbal memory, and bears special importance to understanding diseases that affect memory, such as epilepsy, as patients may face difficulty in remembering words.
The researchers hope that their results will help to direct nervous treatment for epilepsy patients. When doctors know the exact parts that affect memory and language, they can avoid affecting these parts during surgical operations, which reduces the risk of memory loss or the ability to speak after surgery.
And epilepsy is a nervous disorder that affects the brain and causes sudden and recurring spasms due to disturbances in the electrical activity of the brain, which leads to sudden changes in movement, behavior or mental state.
In some cases, seizures may affect the ability to remember and focus, making it difficult for patients to remember words or follow conversations.
The contraction of the parts of the brain affects the verbal memory
The researchers examined 43 people intact, compared them to 84 people with a temporal lobe and hippoCampal sclerosis.
The horse is part of the brain that plays a role in memory, learning and spatial memory.
The researchers used high -resolution magnetic imaging techniques to measure the size and shape of different parts of the brain, including the cerebral cortex (the outer layer of the brain responsible for thinking, memory, attention, awareness, awareness and language) and specific areas within the fortresses.
All participants underwent uniform tests to assess their ability to remember the words, after which the researchers compared the results of these tests to the sizes of different brain regions, in order to know the relationship between shrinking parts of the brain and poor memory.
The researchers found that the reduction of certain areas of the brain was associated with weakness in verbal memory in patients with epilepsy emerging in the temporal lobe.
