Selective memory impairment for public events in a patient with left temporal lobe epilepsy.
Highly selective memory impairment for public events was demonstrated in a patient (JR), who suffered from temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). We successfully trained JR's memory for a set of news events and discuss, on those bases, the characteristics of news events processing that may have contributed to its increased vulnerability relative to autobiographical memory (AbM).
