Juhn Atsushi Wada (1924–2023) and the history of the Wada test

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience
Epilepsy 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.

Anosognosia and confabulation during the Wada test

Neurology, 1997
Feinberg et al. proposed that right-hemisphere-damaged stroke patients with anosognosia for hemiplegia (AHP) confabulate seeing stimuli on the left side but those without AHP admit to having inadequate visual information. This study examines the relationship between AHP and confabulation using selective anesthesia of the cerebral hemispheres. Seventeen

Propofol as a substitute for amobarbital in Wada testing

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2015
We describe a patient with equivocal findings on functional MRI (fMRI), who underwent a propofol Wada test, review the literature on this topic and suggest a protocol for the use of propofol for a Wada test. Although fMRI techniques can usually accurately lateralize language, the Wada test remains the gold standard for preoperative lateralization and ...

Is it time to replace the Wada test?

Neurology, 2002
Language 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.

Ocular complications of the Wada test

Neuro-Ophthalmology, 1994
The 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, 1994
To 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, 2008
F 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 ...
