Abstract
Deficits in attention and arousal play a major role in the clinical presentation of hepatic encephalopathy. Attention deficits arealso the main components of minimal hepatic encephalopathy. The present paper summarizes some findings about attentional and memory dysfunction in hepatic encephalopathy, with reference to basic knowledgeabout normal attention and memory function and their cerebral representation.
