Cognitive Impairment in Epilepsy: A Clinical Study
Background: Patients with epilepsy have relatively higher risk for psychopathology and cognitive impairment. The research data indicate that the cognitive impairment and deterioration are due to associated brain damage and not attributable to epilepsy. The objective of the current study is to evaluate the cognitive functions in patients with adequate seizure control, without obvious brain damag...
متن کاملCognitive Impairment in Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cognitive impairments are frequent consequences of epilepsy, with intellectual ability reportedly being lower in patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsies than in the general population. However, neuropsychological investigations have been rarely performed in patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME). We aimed to quantify the cognitive function in JME patients...
متن کاملCognitive impairment in epilepsy: State of affairs and clinical relevance
The consequences of epilepsy are often as serious as having the disorder itself. One particularly important consequence is the impairment of cognitive function. Cognitive function is a higher order behavior–—that is, the capacity of the brain to program adaptive behavior, solve problems, memorize information, and focus attention. Epilepsy is a symptom of ictal and interictal brain dysfunction. ...
متن کاملCognitive impairment in epilepsy: the role of reduced network flexibility
Objective The dominant model of cognitive impairment in focal epilepsy has emphasised structural bases for cognitive deficits. Current theories of cognition in the healthy brain emphasise the importance of the reweighting of brain network interactions in support of task performance. Here, we explore the hypothesis that cognitive deficits in epilepsy arise through abnormalities of dynamic functi...
متن کاملRegional Atrophy in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy: Correlations with Cognitive Impairment
Purpose: Cognitive impairment is commonly observed in patients with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (TLE). Recently, volumetric analysis showed widespread cortical and subcortical atrophy in patients with TLE. In this study, we hypothesized that the diffuse atrophy in TLE with and without Mesial Temporal Sclerosis (MTS) was associated with cognitive impairment. Methods: To investigate atrophy patterns i...
