Atypical language representation as a protective factor against verbal memory decline following epilepsy surgery.

CONCLUSION: Patients with atypical language dominance had better verbal memory outcomes following left hemisphere resections than those with left hemisphere language dominance suggesting that typical memory substrates likely reorganized along with language. Thus, atypical cerebral organization of language may be considered a protective factor against verbal memory decline following epilepsy surgery involving the left TL.
