Note. Ed. = education; HSE = Herpes Simplex Encephalitis; HC = Hippocampus; MTL = Medial Temporal Lobe; HC Volume = hippocampal volumes obtained using high-resolution volumetric MRI (as studentised residual differences with hippocampal volume z-scores), revealing significantly reduced hippocampal volumes relative to a matched comparison group (Allen, Tranel, Bruss, & Damasio, 2006; Buchanan, Tranel, & Adolphs, 2005); Bolded scores are impaired, defined as 2 standard deviations from the mean on each test; WAIS-III = Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-III; FSIQ = Full Scale Intelligence Quotient; VIQ = Verbal Intelligence Quotient; PIQ = Performance Intelligence Quotient; WMS-III = Wechsler Memory Scale-III; GMI = General Memory Index; BNT = Boston Naming Test; TT = Token Test; COWA = Controlled Oral Word Association; COWA score is summed over F, A, and S; CFT = Complex Figure Test; EF = Executive Functions; WCT = Wisconsin Card Sorting Task; PE = Perseverative errors; Cat = Number of categories achieved out of six.
