Distinct deficits of repetition priming following lateral versus anteromedial frontal cortex damage.

ABSTRACT: Object repetition commonly leads to long-lasting improvements in identification speed and accuracy, a behavioral facilitation referred to as "repetition priming". Neuroimaging and non-invasive electromagnetic stimulation studies have most often implicated the involvement of left lateral frontal cortex in repetition priming, although convergent evidence from neuropsychological studies is lacking. In the current study, we examine the impact of surgical resection for the treatment of epilepsy on the magnitude of repetition priming at relatively short-term (30-60 min delay) and long-term (3 months) delays in 41 patients with varying seizure foci and resection locations. Overall, patients exhibited significant repetition priming at both short-term and long-term delays. However, patients with fr
