Neuropsychological Profiles in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy With and Without a History of Traumatic Brain Injury
Neuropsychological deficits have long been observed in those with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Language and verbal memory are often impaired in individuals with left TLE and visuospatial and visual memory can be impaired in patients with right TLE. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the most common …
