Pathological brain network activity: memory impairment in epilepsy

Abstract

Our thinking, memory and cognition in general, relies upon precisely timed interactions among neurons forming brain networks that support cognitive processes. The surgical evaluation of drug-resistant epilepsy using intracranial electrodes provides a unique opportunity to record directly from human brain and to investigate the coordinated activity of cognitive networks. In this issue of Neurology®, Kleen and colleagues1 implicate pathologic hippocampal network activity during specific memory processes in the occurrence of errors in patients' performance on a short-term memory task.
