Dynamic functional disturbances of brain network in seizure-related cognitive outcomes

Epilepsy is a prevalent neurologic disorder affecting approximately 50 million people worldwide. Cognitive dysfunction induced by seizures is one of the severe comorbidities of epilepsy and epileptic syndrome, which has a negative impact on epileptic patients' quality of life. Several mechanisms may be associated with cognitive impairment in patients with epilepsy. Here, we review how the dynamic functional alterations of brain network influence seizure-related cognitive outcomes.
