The parts of the brain that are needed to remember words, and how these are affected by a common form of epilepsy, have been identified by a team of neurologists and neurosurgeons at UCL.

The parts of the brain needed to remember words have been identified. Those areas are affected by a common form of epilepsy, say scientists. A team of neurologists and neurosurgeons at University ...
