We compared the neurologic and cognitive performance of 15 young veterans who suffered unilateral penetrating missile wounds to the basal forebrain 15 years ago in the Vietnam War with uninjured controls and patients with lesions elsewhere in the brain. The subjects performed worse on tests of episodic memory, reasoning, and arithmetic and had more prolonged unconsciousness after injury; but their performance usually compared favorably with that of uninjured controls on tests of intelligence, attention, and language and was not consistent with that of a demented patient. The data suggest that the basal forebrain is functionally related to the reticular formation and to the basal forebrain is functionally related to the reticular formation and to the limbic-hippocampal memory system.
我们将15名15年前在越南战争中单侧前脑遭受穿透性导弹创伤的年轻退伍军人的神经和认知表现，与未受伤的对照组以及脑部其他部位有损伤的患者进行了比较。这些受试者在情景记忆、推理和算术测试中的表现较差，受伤后昏迷时间更长；但在智力、注意力和语言测试中，他们的表现通常与未受伤的对照组相当，与痴呆患者的表现不一致。数据表明，基底前脑在功能上与网状结构相关，且基底前脑在功能上与网状结构以及边缘 - 海马记忆系统相关。
