Depressive symptoms as independent correlates of epilepsy‐related cognitive burden
Abstract Objective This study was undertaken to assess the relationship between the severity of depression and anxiety symptoms and epilepsy‐related variables and cognitive burden in people with epilepsy (PwE), as assessed using EpiTrack. Methods We prospectively enrolled a cohort of PwE who underwent EpiTrack and evaluation by Generalized Anxiety ...

Cognition in adults with bottom‐of‐sulcus dysplasia and the consequences of focal resection
Abstract Objective To determine whether there are cognitive consequences of bottom‐of‐sulcus dysplasia (BOSD) when assessed as adults and whether focal resection of these lesions leads to change in cognition. Methods We studied 42 adults, of whom 39 underwent focal resection targeting the lesion.

Abstract Objective This study was performed to investigate the postoperative dynamics of verbal memory function after temporal lobe resection (TLR) in people with temporal lobe epilepsy (PwTLE), with a specific focus on the course following an initial verbal memory decline and the factors influencing later changes.

Abstract Objective Anterior temporal lobe resection (ATLR) is an effective treatment for drug‐resistant temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) but carries a substantial risk of language impairment, particularly in naming. Understanding and predicting the impact of ATLR on language functions remains a major clinical challenge.

Creativity and its link to epilepsy
Abstract Creative thinking represents one of our highest‐order cognitive processes, involving multiple cortical structures and an intricate interplay between several cortical and subcortical networks. It results in novel ideas that translate to useful products or concepts. The evolutionary purpose of creativity is therefore apparent, as it advances our

Abstract Objective Verbal memory tasks differ in their cognitive demands and may rely on distinct left medial temporal structures. One model holds that verbal delayed recall is hippocampal dependent, whereas verbal paired associate learning relies on adjacent rhinal cortex.
