Number of participants that the trial has enrolled

80

Results

Multiple regression analyses showed a significant association between the left CA1 volume and the 1-week story retention, but this was not found for the whole hippocampus or other subfield volumes. Hippocampal shape analyses revealed that atrophy of the superior-lateral, superior-central, and inferior-medial regions of the left hippocampus, corresponding to CA1 and CA2/3, was associated with the verbal retention rate.

Baseline Characteristics

80 patients with focal epilepsy (61 with temporal lobe epilepsy and 19 with extratemporal lobe epilepsy) and 30 healthy controls.
Patients with focal epilepsy had lower intelligence quotients and route recall scores at 10 minutes than controls. The focal epilepsy group had smaller volumes of both the right and left hippocampal tails than the control group, but there were no significant group differences for the volumes of the whole hippocampus or other hippocampal subfields.

Participant flow

The patients underwent assessment of long-term memory, magnetic resonance imaging, and electroencephalography recording. Verbal and visuospatial memory was tested 30 seconds, 10 minutes, and 1 week after learning.

Adverse events

None

Outcome measures

We assessed the volumes of the whole hippocampus and seven subfields and deformation of the hippocampal shape.
The contributions of the hippocampal volumes and shape deformation to long-term forgetting, controlling for confounding factors, including the presence of interictal epileptiform discharges, were assessed by multiple regression analyses.
