Accelerated long-term forgetting of recall and recognition memory in people with epilepsy.

Purpose: Persons with epilepsy (PWE) report memory deficits as one of the most distressing aspects of their disorder. Recently, a long-term memory deficit known as Accelerated Long-Term Forgetting (ALF) has been described in PWE. ALF is characterized by the initial retention of learned information, followed by an accelerated rate of memory decay.

Functional Reorganization of the Mesial Frontal Premotor Cortex in Patients With Supplementary Motor Area Seizures.

Background: Direct cortical stimulation of the mesial frontal premotor cortex, including the supplementary motor area (SMA), is challenging in humans. Limited access to these brain regions impedes understanding of human premotor cortex functional organization and somatotopy.

Objective: To test whether seizure onset within the SMA was associated with functional remapping of mesial frontal premotor areas in a cohort of patients with epilepsy who underwent awake brain mapping after implantation of interhemispheric subdural electrodes.

Evoked responses to note onsets and phrase boundaries in Mozart's K448.

Understanding the neural correlates of perception of hierarchical structure in music presents a direct window into auditory organization. To examine the hypothesis that high-level and low-level structures-i.e.

Supervised machine learning to predict reduced depression severity in people with epilepsy through epilepsy self-management intervention.

Objective: To develop a classifier that predicts reductions in depression severity in people with epilepsy after participation in an epilepsy self-management intervention.

Methods: Ninety-three people with epilepsy from three epilepsy self-management randomized controlled trials from the Managing Epilepsy Well (MWE) Network integrated research database met the inclusion criteria. Supervised machine learning algorithms were utilized to develop prediction models for changes in self-reported depression symptom severity.
