Central Nervous System Manifestations Associated with COVID-19.

abstract：PURPOSE OF REVIEW:The usefulness of the Wada test (WT) predicting memory impairment from temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) surgery has been debated, and it has progressively been replaced by functional MRI (fMRI). We review the current role of WT and fMRI in the presurgical assessment of TLE, and how novel surgical techniqu...
