Abstract
Thirty-three temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) patients, 19 left TLE and 14 right TLE, underwent an intracarotid amobarbital procedure. For each patient, hemispheric memory laterality was determined by measuring the relative magnitude of recognition memory following left versus right hemisphere injection of sodium amobarbital. The patients were divided into early and late seizure onset groups, based on he median age (13 yrs) of seizure onset of the total sample. Early-onset left TLE was associated with a greater tendency toward right hemispheric representation of both verbal and visual memory compared with late-onset left hemispheric representation of visual, but not verbal, memory compared with late-onset right TLE. These findings indicate hat interhemispheric plasticity for memory is greater in early than in late life, bidirectional, and at least partially material-specific.
