Retrograde amnesia and the volume of critical brain structures. by Kopelman, MD, Lasserson, D, Kingsley, DR, Bello, F, Rush, C, Stanhope, N, Stevens, T, Goodman, G, Buckman, JR, Heilpern, G, Kendall, B, Colchester, A

“…There are many controversies concerning the structural basis of retrograde amnesia (RA). One view is that memories are held briefly within a medial temporal store ("hippocampal complex") before being "consolidated" or reorganised within temporal neocortex and/or networks more widely distributed within the cerebral cortex. …”

Structural MRI volumetric analysis in patients with organic amnesia, 1: methods and comparative findings across diagnostic groups. by Colchester, A, Kingsley, D, Lasserson, D, Kendall, B, Bello, F, Rush, C, Stevens, T, Goodman, G, Heilpern, G, Stanhope, N, Kopelman, MD

“…METHOD: In the present study, a clear set of anatomical criteria and detailed MRI segmentation procedures were applied to measure whole brain, frontal and temporal lobe, and anterolateral and medial temporal volumes, as well as thalamic areas in patients with organic amnesia (from Korsakoff's syndrome, herpes encephalitis, and focal frontal lesions) as well as healthy controls. …”

The retrosplenium reflects mnemonic network disruption in 'organic' amnesia: Analysis of a large 18FDG-PET dataset by Reed, L, Lasserson, D, Marsden, P, Stanhope, N, Kopelman, M

Structural MRI volumetric analysis in patients with organic amnesia, 2: correlations with anterograde memory and executive tests in 40 patients. by Kopelman, MD, Lasserson, D, Kingsley, D, Bello, F, Rush, C, Stanhope, N, Stevens, T, Goodman, G, Heilpern, G, Kendall, B, Colchester, A

“…METHOD: In the present study, a clear set of anatomical criteria and detailed MRI segmentation procedures were applied to measure whole brain, and left and right frontal, temporal lobe, anterolateral and medial temporal volumes, as well as thalamic cross sectional areas in 40 patients with organic amnesia (from various diseases) and 10 healthy controls. …”

Correlations of regional cerebral metabolism with memory performance and executive function in patients with herpes encephalitis or frontal lobe lesions. by Reed, L, Lasserson, D, Marsden, P, Bright, P, Stanhope, N, Kopelman, MD

“…Cerebral [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18FDG-PET) data from patients suffering amnesia following herpes encephalitis (n=7) or frontal lobe pathology (n=14) were compared with data from age-matched nonamnesic subjects (n=10). …”

FDG-PET findings in the Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. by Reed, L, Lasserson, D, Marsden, P, Stanhope, N, Stevens, T, Bello, F, Kingsley, D, Colchester, A, Kopelman, MD

“…Twelve patients suffering amnesia arising from the Korsakoff syndrome were compared with 10 control subjects without alcohol-related disability. …”
