Verbal memory impairment after left insular cortex infarction.
PET studies have shown an association between changes in blood flow in the insular cortex and verbal memory. This study compared verbal memory profiles between a group of four right handed patients with right insular infarction and a group of six right handed patients with left insular infarction. Patient groups were comparable in age, education, and sex. Patients were administered memory tests...
متن کاملReversible Verbal and Visual Memory Deficits after Left Retrosplenial Infarction
The retrosplenial cortex is a cytoarchitecturally distinct brain structure located in the posterior cingulate gyrus and bordering the splenium, precuneus, and calcarine fissure. Functional imaging suggests that the retrosplenium is involved in memory, visuospatial processing, proprioception, and emotion.We report on a patient who developed reversible verbal and visual memory deficits following ...
متن کاملNeglect after right insular cortex infarction.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Case reports have shown an association between right insular damage and neglect.

METHODS We examined neglect in 9 right-handed subjects with insular stroke as evidenced by CT and/or MRI scans (4 with right insular and 5 with left insular cerebrovascu...
متن کاملIsolated left posterior insular infarction and convergent roles in verbal fluency, language, memory, and executive function.
The posterior insular cortex-a complex structure interconnecting various brain regions for different functions-is a rare location for ischemic stroke. We report a patient with isolated left posterior insular infarction who presented with multiple cognitive impairment, including impairment in semantic and phonemic verbal fluency.
متن کاملImpaired verbal associative learning after resection of left perirhinal cortex.
Some patients considered for left temporal lobectomy for epilepsy present with normal verbal learning and no MRI evidence of hippocampal pathology. In order to preserve learning function, the surgical approach in these cases often aims at sparing the hippocampus. Parahippocampal structures, including the left perirhinal region, however, also appear to contribute to some forms of verbal learning...
