with epilepsy was stimulated and regardless of baseline memory performance, a finding that suggests that improvement could occur in patients
with other memory impairments (e.g., Alzheimer's disease).

with type 2 diabetes since ingestion of rapidly absorbed, high — glycemic index carbohydrate foods further impairs
medial temporal lobe function,
with food - induced increases in oxidative stress and cytokine release likely explaining the association between food ingestion and reduction in cognitive function in those
with type 2 diabetes (1).»
Imaging studies using these composite measures of SES have found significant correlations between composite scores and regions in the
medial temporal lobe and frontal
lobe (Raizada et al., 2008; Jednoróg et al., 2012), but without knowing associations to specific SES markers, it is difficult to compare these studies
with other structural imaging studies.
