Neuropsychological assessments included the Wechsler Memory Scale\u2010Revised and the Rey Complex Figure Test. Regions of interest (ROIs), such as the hippocampus, amygdala, and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, were identified using the AAL3 atlas and SPM 8 Anatomy toolbox.

HS intensified BFCS\u2010right hippocampal and bilateral amygdala damage in TLE. Correlation analyses indicated positive associations between BFCS\u2010right hippocampal FA and verbal and nonverbal memory, whereas its MD negatively correlated with nonverbal memory decline. BFCS\u2010right amygdala FA correlated with both memory domains, and BFCS\u2010DLPFC MD inversely correlated with memory quotient. Elevated MD in the right Ch4 to ipsilateral hippocampal tracts served as a sensitive imaging biomarker for nonverbal memory impairment.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>TLE patients exhibit cognitive and visual\u2010spatial memory deficits, with BFCS tract damage being more pronounced in LTLE and HS patients.
