Brain Stimulation Using Responsive Neurostimulation Improves Verbal Memory: A Crossover Case-Control Study.

Verbal memory improves by direct cortical stimulation during a list-learning task. The RNS system can be effectively used in memory research using direct cortical stimulation. This study has implications in the development of neurostimulation devices for cognitive enhancement in conditions such as epilepsy, dementia, and traumatic brain injury.
