Mnemonic disorders were investigated in 42 patients with astrocytomas of the temporal lobes. Mnemonic disorders examined at different disease stages were found to be related to the side and intralobular localization of tumors. In tumors of the mediobasal and neocortical structures of the temporal lobes, the irritative syndromes and memory loss symptoms were distinguished. Hypotheses of memory disorders seen in patients with those lesions are presented.
