Memory characteristics in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy: Insights from an eye tracking memory game and neuropsychological assessments.

Patients with MRI-neg MTLE demonstrate impaired memory mostly due to attention deficits, while those with HS-MTLE show memory impairment with relative sparing of attention. Eye tracking technology has the potential of facilitating the investigation of the mechanism of memory defect in MTLE and can serve as a supplementary neuropsychological tool for clinical diagnosis and long-term monitoring.
