Leveraging the resting brain to predict memory decline after temporal lobectomy.

Resting-state connectivity provides valuable information concerning both the integrity of to-be-resected tissue and functional reserve across memory-relevant regions outside of the to-be-resected tissue. Intrinsic functional connectivity has the potential to be useful for clinical decision-making regarding memory outcomes in left TLE, and more work is needed to identify the factors responsible for differences seen in right TLE.
