“…Moreover, some studies on reading using EEG have highlighted atypical patterns of brain activations across the scalp [38]. Our recent study found typical organization of reading during fMRI recording, but compensatory Bold responses in intensity and additional brain regions (p.ex putamen) [25]. However, due to small sample sizes these studies did not show distinct cerebral responses patterns between right and left sided focus BECTS.…”

“…More specifically, several authors have reported language related deficits in this population, and even propose the consideration of this syndrome to be part of the selective language impairments spectrum [20][21][22][23][24]. However, many studies, most of them reviewed in the recent literature review by Malfait and Lippé [25], highlight the great heterogeneity of neuropsychological delays and deficiencies amongst BECTS children. Causes of this heterogeneity are unclear.…”

In Canada, Epilepsy affects approximately 3 to 6 per 1000 children between the ages of 0 and 15. Of these children, 15-25% suffer from benign epilepsy with centro-temporal spikes (BECTS), making BECTS the most common benign childhood focal epileptic syndrome. Although BECTS is classified as a benign syndrome, cognitive and behavioral impairments have consistently been demonstrated during the active phase and after remission [1-3]. Impact of the side of epileptic foci on cognitive development however remains unclear. Among 269 articles from 1806 to 2016 reviewed, 17 articles have specifically addressed the impact of the side of epileptic foci on the cognitive functioning. Our review suggests that the epileptic side is more deleterious to cognitive functions specifically sub served by the same hemisphere. However, for reasons that remain unclear, other cognitive functions may also be affected. We recommend that these children benefit from a neuropsychological follow-up.
