Juhn Atsushi Wada (1924–2023) and the history of the Wada test
Journal of Clinical NeuroscienceEpilepsy is one of the most common neurologic conditions in the world. Surgical treatment for refractoryepilepsy is a method to optimize the quality of life for patients. Throughout his medical career, Dr. Wada examined the underlying mechanism of epilepsy and developed procedures to improve outcomes for his patients.

Is it time to replace the Wada test?
Neurology, 2002Language and memory lateralization usually must be known before epilepsy surgery. Patients whose seizure focus is close to presumed language cortex also require detailed topographic localization of language regions to define safe boundaries for surgical excision.

Abstract The Wada test—or intracarotid amobarbital procedure—has a rich history in the evaluation of language and memory among presurgical patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and other conditions affecting the temporal lobes (e.g., brain tumor).

Ocular complications of the Wada test
Neuro-Ophthalmology, 1994The injection of sodium amobarbital into the internal carotid artery (Wada test) is used preoperatively to identify the dominant hemisphere and to evaluate the possible effects of temporal lobectomy on speech, language, and memory. Although transient ocular side effects of the Wada test have been described, we present two cases of permanent ocular ...

Stimulus Timing Effects on Wada Memory Testing
Archives of Neurology, 1994To determine the effects of presenting Wada memory stimuli at different times after intracarotid amobarbital injection on Wada memory asymmetries.Wada memory asymmetries from three timing series were related to the laterality of eventual temporal lobectomy.Academic institution epilepsy surgery program.Forty-three patients with complex partial seizures ...

Is the Wada Test Still Relevant? Yes
Archives of Neurology, 2008F OR NEUROSURGICAL and presurgical epilepsy evaluations, localization of eloquent cortical functions is imperative in predicting the postsurgical outcome. In the case of presurgical epilepsy evaluations, localization of language and memory is an important factor in determining whether further presurgical evaluation is needed, whether intraoperative or ...
