Cortical excitability and seizure control influence attention performance in patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGEs)

We recently found that higher cortical excitability is associated with poorer attention performance in healthy adults. While patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGEs), previously termed genetic generalized epilepsies, are known to demonstrate increased cortical excitability and cognitive deficits, a relationship between these variables in IGEs has not been investigated. Therefore, we aimed to characterize the effects of cortical...
