The temporal lobe surgical operation of epilepsy is expected as a most effective procedure now.However, if the hippocampus is deleted by this operation, postoperative cognitive function and memory function may be degraded. In order to know a change of a patient's postoperative cognitive function and memory function, comparison of the patient group and a healthy person group is important. In this paper, we verified the correlation coefficient between FA of Tractography of an uncinate fasciculus and the score of WMS-R and MMSE for the healthy person group.
Since the score of WMS-R was divided into the item of various memory function, we calculated the correlation coefficient with FA respectively.
As a result, the correlation coefficient of the score of FA of left uncinate fuciculus and visual memory became the maximum, as -0.714. |
