Сognitive Сomplaints with Unilateral Temporal Lobe Compression by M.U. Kaverina, U.V. Strunina, O.A. Krotkova

“…Spontaneous narration of problems reveals their semantic hierarchy and can be a model for generating a spontaneous flow of thoughts and memories with the activity of the default brain network. The objective of the study was to study the nature of spontaneously expressed complaints about memory by patients with mild compression of the temporal regions of the resting network of the brain. …”
