Memory and brain monitoring study
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study explores how a part of your brain, called the posterior cingulate cortex, helps control memory. It uses the brain monitoring you already have for epilepsy to better understand how we remember and use information.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are currently in the hospital for invasive brain monitoring (electrodes placed inside your skull) to help find where your seizures start.
- You are between 18 and 50 years old.
- You do not have any known cognitive impairment or intellectual disability.

This study uses brain imaging (MRI) to understand how our brains process and recall memories. It may help researchers learn more about memory in healthy adults.
This trial studies brain waves to learn how memory works. It may help people with epilepsy who have special brain implants, or healthy volunteers.
This study tests a brain-recording and brain-stimulation approach to help improve memory. It is offered to adults who are already enrolled in a specific epilepsy surgery program and can safely complete memory-related tasks.
This study looks at how the brain makes decisions and forms memories. It uses brain recordings from patients already having surgery for epilepsy to understand these processes.
This study looks at how brain cells work during a simple memory task in people with hard-to-control epilepsy who are being monitored in the hospital. You may help researchers understand the brain mechanisms of memory, which could guide better treatments in the future.
This study places electrodes in the brain to learn how seizures spread and how memory works. It may help people with temporal lobe epilepsy understand their condition better and improve future treatments.
