Neuronal recordings in human lateral temporal lobe during verbal paired associate learning.

摘要: The temporal lobe has a role in memory and learning. objective of this study was to assess the activity neurons cortex humans during Single neuron recorded with extracellular microelectrodes adults undergoing awake craniotomies for resections medically intractable epilepsy. Participants were administered control tasks overt reading, silent nonword visual controls recent verbal task distracters followed by paired associates (PA) paradigm. Forty-nine identified characterized their relationship language memory. Neurons related speech (Type A neurons) showed increased learning patients who good learners compared poor learners. not or D exposure unlearned word pairs those Activity all groups diminished practice. Levels specific types human differ learn rapidly poorly.
