Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Basing on the material of 25 surgically treated epileptic patients higher mental functions were studied in the pre- and postoperative periods using certain neuropsychological tests with comparison to the clinical-electroencephalographic findings in order to localize the leading epileptic focus. Short-time auditory-dysphasic and visual memory disturbances were revealed denoting temporal lobe localization of the focus. The above disturbances deteriorated postoperatively, but during the period of 1 to 2 years they regressed to the preoperative level.
