Abstract:ObjectivesPatients with chronic focal epilepsy commonly exhibit subcortical atrophy, particularly of the thalamus. The timing of these alterations remains uncertain, though preliminary evidence suggests that observable changes may already be present at diagnosis. It is also not yet known how these morphological changes are linked to the coherence of white matter pathways throughout the brain, or to neuropsychological function often compromised before anti-seizure medication treatment. This study investigates l… Show more
