Key: HC = hippocampus (participants with hippocampal amnesia); F = female. M = male. R = right handed. L = left handed. Ed. = years of education. HSE = Herpes Simplex Encephalitis. + MTL = damage extending into the greater medial temporal lobes. HC Volume = hippocampal volumetric z-scores as measured through high resolution volumetric MRI and compared to a matched healthy comparison group (Allen et al., 2006). WAIS-III VIQ = Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale–III Verbal Intelligence Quotient, with Vocabulary and Information sub-scores reported. WMS-III GMI = Wechsler Memory Scale–III General Memory Index. Bolded scores are impaired as defined as 2 or more standard deviations below normative data.
