In brief
This fMRI study examined reading-related brain activity in children and adolescents with drug-resistant focal epilepsy using a verb generation task. Results demonstrate that these patients recruit cognitive control networks to support reading function, suggesting compensatory neural mechanisms in epilepsy.
Written by the GCMD Library team from the article.
This study aimed to define whether individuals with drug-resistant focal epilepsy also used regions related to cognitive control to facilitate reading. We focused on patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy in 2011-2014, who were aged 8-20 years and were being treated at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital, USA. They performed a verb generation functional magnetic resonance imaging task known to…
