Abstract

Disrupting medial temporal-lobe (MTL) activity for less than a second, either during the initial presentation of a complex scene or when it is presented again 1 min later, severely impairs recognition at the second presentation. MTL disruption during both presentation and recognition periods produces further impairment. These results are not consistent with views limiting MTL function solely to encoding or solely to retrieval mechanisms.

Deep brain stimulation in Alzheimer's disease
2021, International Review of Neurobiology
Benefits from symptomatic and etiologic treatments in Alzheimer's Disease (AD), the most frequent dementia, are still insufficient. During the last decade, several studies showed that electrical stimulation of memory circuits could enhance memory in humans without memory impairment. First, improvement of verbal recollection was reported after deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the fornix in the hypothalamus in a patient treated for morbid obesity. Several studies in epileptic patients explored by deep electrodes reported that visuo-spatial memorization was facilitated by electrical stimulation of the entorhinal cortex or theta burst stimulation of the fornix. Recent studies suggested that DBS could be useful to modulate memory circuits in patients with cognitive decline. Phase I and II studies (about 50 patients) showed that chronic fornix DBS was safe and could achieved to stabilize or slow the memory decline of some patients with mild to moderate AD, especially older ones with less severe and/or advanced disease. DBS of the cholinergic nucleus of Meynert also has been explored in phase I studies in AD and Parkinson-related dementia.
Growing experimental data suggest several mechanisms of action: restoration of hippocampal theta rhythms, enhanced long term potentiation, increase of hippocampal neurogenesis, neuroprotection by release of neurotrophic factors, diffuse reactivation of hypoactive neocortical associative regions.
However, DBS in AD is still investigational and numerous issues remain to be solved before envisaging its use in clinical practice, including optimal anatomical DBS target, stimulation modalities (continuous, intermittent, theta-bursts, closed loop stimulation), best candidate patients, relevant targeted symptoms, ethical considerations.
Stimulation of the right entorhinal white matter enhances visual memory encoding in humans
2021, Brain Stimulation
While deep brain stimulation has been successful in treating movement disorders, such as in Parkinson’s disease, its potential application in alleviating memory disorders is inconclusive.
Objective/Hypothesis: We investigated the role of the location of the stimulating electrode on memory improvement and hypothesized that entorhinal white versus gray matter stimulation would have differential effects on memory.
Intracranial electrical stimulation was applied to the entorhinal area of twenty-two participants with already implanted electrodes as they completed visual memory tasks.
We found that stimulation of right entorhinal white matter during learning had a beneficial effect on subsequent memory, while stimulation of adjacent gray matter or left-sided stimulation was ineffective. This finding was consistent across three different visually guided memory tasks.
Our results highlight the importance of precise stimulation site on modulation of human hippocampal-dependent memory and suggest that stimulation of afferent input into the right hippocampus may be an especially promising target for enhancement of visual memory.

Feindel and Penfield69 described arrest of memory encoding when stimulating close to the hippocampus. However, disruption of memory when stimulating unilaterally only occurred in a minority of patients and required the induction of after-discharges by the stimulus.70–72 Early studies showed that temporary amnesia could be induced when stimulating medial temporal structures bilaterally with trains of electrical pulses lasting 3 to 50 seconds.73–75
Modulation of Human Memory by Deep Brain Stimulation of the Entorhinal-Hippocampal Circuitry
2020, Neuron
Neurological disorders affecting human memory present a major scientific, medical, and societal challenge. Direct or indirect deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the entorhinal-hippocampal system, the brain’s major memory hub, has been studied in people with epilepsy or Alzheimer’s disease, intending to enhance memory performance or slow memory decline. Variability in the spatiotemporal parameters of stimulation employed to date notwithstanding, it is likely that future DBS for memory will employ closed-loop, nuanced approaches that are synergistic with native physiological processes. The potential for editing human memory—decoding, enhancing, incepting, or deleting specific memories—suggests exciting therapeutic possibilities but also raises considerable ethical concerns.
Cortical gray–white matter blurring and declarative memory impairment in MRI-negative temporal lobe epilepsy
2019, Epilepsy and Behavior
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-negative temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) may be a distinct syndrome from TLE with mesial temporal sclerosis (TLE-MTS). Imaging and neuropsychological features of TLE-MTS are well-known; yet, these features are only beginning to be described in MRI-negative TLE. This study examined whether a quantitative measure of cortical gray and white matter blurring (GWB) was elevated in the temporal lobes ipsilateral to the seizure onset zone of individuals with MRI-negative TLE relative to TLE-MTS and healthy controls (HCs) and whether GWB elevations were associated with neuropsychological comorbidity. Gray–white matter blurring from 34 cortical regions and hippocampal volumes were quantified and compared across 28 people with MRI-negative TLE, 15 people with TLE-MTS, and 51 HCs. Declarative memory was assessed with standard neuropsychological tests and the intracarotid amobarbital procedure (IAP). In the group with MRI-negative TLE (left and right onsets combined), hippocampal volumes were within normal range but GWB was elevated, relative to HCs, across several mesial and lateral temporal lobe regions ipsilateral to the seizure onset zone. Gray–white matter blurring did not differ between the groups with TLE-MTS and HC or between the groups with TLE-MTS and MRI-negative TLE. The group with MRI-negative TLE could not be distinguished from the group with TLE-MTS on any of the standard neuropsychological tests; however, ipsilateral hippocampal volumes and IAP memory scores were lower in the group with TLE-MTS than in the group with MRI-negative TLE. The group with left MRI-negative TLE had lower general cognitive abilities and verbal fluency relative to the HC group, which adds to the characterization of neuropsychological comorbidities in left MRI-negative TLE. In addition, ipsilateral IAP memory performance was reduced relative to contralateral memory performance in MRI-negative TLE, indicating some degree of ipsilateral memory dysfunction. There was no relationship between hippocampal volume and IAP memory scores in MRI-negative TLE; however, decreased ipsilateral IAP memory scores were correlated with elevated GWB in the ipsilateral superior temporal sulcus of people with left MRI-negative TLE. In sum, GWB elevations in the ipsilateral temporal lobe of people with MRI-negative TLE suggest that GWB may serve as a marker for reduced structural integrity in regions in or near the seizure onset zone. Although mesial temporal abnormalities might be the major driver of memory dysfunction in TLE-MTS, a loss of structural integrity in lateral temporal lobe regions may contribute to IAP memory dysfunction in MRI-negative TLE.
Deep Brain Stimulation for Memory Modulation: A New Frontier
2019, World Neurosurgery
In the coming years the number of patients with cognitive disorders, such as Alzheimer disease and traumatic brain injury, is expected to dramatically increase, leading to an ever-increasing societal cost. Unfortunately, few medical and pharmacologic treatments have shown tangible benefit in the treatment of these diseases. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established surgical technique to address multiple conditions, including Parkinson disease and essential tremor. Data from patients being treated with DBS, as well as those being monitored for seizures with depth electrodes, have suggested improvement in memory with electrical neuromodulation.
MEDLINE was searched from inception through March 2018 using the keywords “DBS,” “Deep Brain Stimulation,” “Memory,” “Memory Modulation,” and “Cognition.” Studies evaluating the effect of DBS on memory and learning were shortlisted and reviewed.
Efforts to stimulate various nodes within the memory circuitry suggest that the variable effects may result from different mechanisms, including alteration of neural firing patterns, increased activity across several regions, and amplification of neural plasticity. Some of these targets, such as the entorhinal cortex, hippocampus, and nucleus basalis of Meynert, have shown promising results with regards to modulation of memory.
Given the aging population and increasing numbers of patients with memory impairment from neurodegenerative diseases, interest in neuromodulation for memory enhancement will likely expand. Further work should employ more sophisticated responsive stimulation parameters and precise spatial targeting that may lead to an effective stimulation strategy for memory enhancement.
