The interdisciplinary group for research into neuroimaging in epilepsy of the University of São Paulo's School of Medicine proposes to develop five research projects involving aspects of structural and functional neuroimaging in the study of cognitive and behavioral functions in adult and pediatric patients, who suffer from epilepsy as well as genetic aspects and characterization of the n…
Rationale: Idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) is characterized by adolescence onset, absence, myoclonic and generalized tonic clonic (GTC) seizures, and typical EEG findings. Seizures respond to broad-spectrum antiepileptic drugs (AED): VPA, LEV, LTG, TPM. VPA use is limited in women of childbearing potential. Studies evaluating the relative efficacy of these AEDs in mono- and in combi…
Temporal Lobe Epilepsy with unilateral hippocampus sclerosis (TLE-uMTS), the most prevalent type of focal and treatment-refractory epilepsy, is associated with cognitive impairment. Different patterns of cognitive impairment, such as in language, have been associated with lesions in each cerebral hemisphere. Verbal fluency, visual confrontation and responsive naming, responsive and word c…
The temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) associated with hippocampal sclerosis (HS) is the most common form of intractable epilepsy and manifests with changes in episodic memory, as is already known for some time, and executive functions, which are being studied more today. The evidence on anatomical changes in temporal and extratemporal structures and the correlation with mental retardation are …
