The Septal Region and Memory

  • Chapter
Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery

Part of the book series: Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery ((NEUROSURGERY,volume 24))

Abstract

There is a wealth of evidence indicating that the septal region, which can be considered synonymous with the anterior compartment of the basal fore-brain, plays a role in cognitive processes. Impairments of memory and attention have been reported to follow damage involving the septum and adjacent cortical regions in animals and humans (Markowitsch, 1995).
