Our findings underscore the enduring nature of functional network reorganizations to provide long-term cognitive support. Ten years post-ATLR, successful memory formation featured stronger connections near resected areas and contralateral regions. Preoperative network disruption possibly influenced effectiveness of postoperative plasticity. These findings are crucial for enhancing long-term memory prediction and strategies for lasting memory rehabilitation.
