capacity more accurately than PCC–HC connectivity alone (see Fig. 3). In patients with left mTLE, DMN connectivity correlated with verbal memory scores (r2 = 0.61, p < 0.001) and in patients with right mTLE, DMN connectivity correlated with visuospatial memory scores (r2 = 0.53, p < 0.001). These results suggest that the overall integrity of the DMN is a more accurate marker for episodic memory capacity in mTLE than its individual connections.
