Effect of fornix stimulation on acute memory encoding
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Electrical stimulation of different nodes within the Circuit of Papez has been assessed in a variety of human studies with conflicting or indeterminate results. Our goal was to combine a precise psychophysical paradigm with varying stimulation protocols across two experimental settings (intra-op, post-op) to more robustly identify and characterize the interaction between fornix stimulation and memory and to isolate whether those effects are specific to memory encoding, rather than related to distinct, supporting cognitive functions.
