Effects of hippocampus‐sparing resections in the temporal lobe: Hippocampal atrophy is associated with a decline in memory performance

Abstract

A disruption of the memory network by any resection within the TL, especially within the language-dominant hemisphere, may lead to HC atrophy and memory decline. These findings may further improve the counseling of patients concerning their postoperative memory outcome before TL resections sparing the entire HC.
