Abstract
⺠TLE patients show greater forgetting than controls on a verbal memory task over daytime wake, but not over nighttime sleep. ⺠Slow wave sleep is correlated with overnight performance change on a verbal memory task. ⺠Patients with temporal lobe epilepsy show no deficit in sleep-dependent improvement on a motor sequence task compared with controls. ⺠Periods of sleep may provide protection against forgetting in temporal lobe epilepsy.
