title: Pattern of memory deficits in a controlled psychometric study of thalamic haemorrhage.
abstract: Twelve patients with unilateral thalamic haemorrhages were assessed psychometrically. The results were compared with control subjects matched for sex, age and years of education. The pattern of deficits and preserved abilities cannot be explained in terms of semantic/episodic distinction, but could be interpreted as manifestations of disconnection between the frontal and temporal systems.
