Table 2 fMRI memory studies for adults with epilepsy

From: Imaging episodic memory during development and childhood epilepsy

Author/year Population fMRI paradigm: verbal or visual Recognition or Recall tested during scan or post scan
Detre et al. 1998 [53] 10 TLE, 8 TD Visual: scenes Post scan
Killgore et al. 1999 [54] 9 patients who underwent ATL Visual: scenes Post scan
Dupont et al. 2000 [55] 7 left MTLE (MTS), 10 TD Verbal: supra-span list of abstract words During scan (silently recall) and post scan
Jokeit et al. 2001 [56] 30 TLE, 17 TD Visual: Roland’s Hometown Walking task During scan
Golby et al. 2002 [41] 9 MTLE Both: 4 tasks: patterns, faces, scenes, words Post scan
Richardson et al. 2003 [57] 24 LMTS, 12 TD Single words Post scan
Rabin et al. 2004 [58] 35 TLE, 30 TD Visual: scenes Post scan
Janszky et al. 2005 [17] 16 MTLE Visual: Roland’s Hometown Walking task During scan
Richardson et al. 2006 [59] 30 MTLE (MTS), 13 TD Single words (same as Richardson et al. 2003 [57]) Post scan
Avila et al. 2006 [60] 25 with lesions in the temporal lobe, 12 TD Visual: 2 tasks: (1) picture encoding and (2) Roland’s Hometown Walking task (1) Picture encoding = post scan, (2) Roland’s Hometown Walking task = during scan
Powell et al. 2007 [62] 15 TLE Both: 1 task with pictures, faces, words Post scan
Frings et al. 2008a [61] 22 MTLE Visual: spatial memory task (3D virtual environment) During scan (recognition task)
Binder et al. 2010 [63] 30 patients who underwent LATL, 37 RATL Visual: scenes Post scan
Dupont et al. 2010 [64] 25 MTLE Visual: pictures of objects (learned outside of scanner and fMRI 24 h later) During scan (recognition task)
Bonelli et al. 2010 [14] 72 TLE, 20 TD Both: 1 task with pictures, faces, words (same as Powell et al. 2007 [62]) Post scan
Alessio et al. 2013 [65] 17 MTLE, 9 TD Both: 1 task with abstract designs and abstract words During scan (silently recall)
Bonelli et al. 2013 [67] 46 TLE Both: 1 task with pictures, faces, words (same as Powell et al. 2007 [62] and Bonelli et al. 2010 [14]) Post scan
Sidhu et al. 2013 [66] 44 MTLE, 26 TD Both: 1 task with faces, words Post scan
Sidhu et al. 2015a [68] 50 MTLE, 26 TD Verbal: words Post scan
  1. Summary of several published studies of memory fMRI for adults with epilepsy in chronological order, including study population, fMRI tasks, and whether recall was tested during scanning
  2. TLE temporal lobe epilepsy, MTLE mesial temporal lobe epilepsy, MTS mesial temporal sclerosis, TD typically developing
  3. aIncludes individual-level results
