Open-loop stimulation showed no reliable site dependence in RAM FR2 and catFR2 recall
We tested whether the recall cost of open-loop electrical stimulation during word encoding differed between medial temporal lobe (MTL) and other sites. We analyzed events.tsv and electrodes.tsv from OpenNeuro ds005489 (RAM FR2, version 1.0.3) and ds005491 (RAM catFR2, version 1.0.0); no signal data were used. The unit was one subject and stimulation pair, with sessions pooled for the same pair. The analysis included 74 units from 46 subjects. The MTL-minus-other difference was -2.3 percentage points (95% CI -5.3 to +0.7; p = 0.142; Holm-adjusted p = 0.283), so the data did not show reliable site dependence. MTL units alone had a -2.9 point effect (95% CI -5.1 to -0.7; p = 0.019; Holm-adjusted p = 0.057); other units had -0.6 points (95% CI -2.6 to +1.4; p = 0.601). The CI for the class difference excludes effects more negative than about -5.3 points. The contrast was -1.1 points among depth contacts only, while all MTL contacts were depth contacts, confounding site class and contact type. FR2 showed a -0.1 point difference. An exploratory catFR2 subset showed -8.5 points (8 MTL versus 14 other units; p = 0.026), a post hoc result with small n. Sites were selected by clinicians and the RAM protocol, and site class may be confounded with patient, contact type, amplitude, and task. Region labels came from dataset atlas columns and anatomy was not checked. The analysis measures behavior, not neural effects of stimulation.

Our exploratory catFR2 subset shows a large MTL-minus-other difference (-8.5 points). This agrees with the hippocampal catFR2 cost. In FR2 the difference is zero.
