Mnemonic discrimination in patients with unilateral mesial temporal lobe epilepsy relates to similarity and number of events stored in memory

Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE) is a neurological disorder associated with histopathological changes in different subfields of the hippocampus. These alterations have been associated with memory difficulties. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that these difficulties stem on mnemonic discrimination impairment due to a reduced ability to make similar representations more distinct, leading to an increased susceptibility to interference....
