Abstract
Objective. Picture naming and word fluency depend on the integrity of different neural networks including the inferior-lateral temporal, superior parietal and frontal cortices and the ventral visual pathway or the inferior frontal, dorsolateral prefrontal, medial temporal and parietal areas. Although many studies investigated language after epilepsy surgery, scarce attention was given to the postoperative trajectories of different lexical–semantic abilities. This prospective study evaluated the short- and long-term changes of word finding on visual, letter, and category stimuli in patients operated on for drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE).
