Title: Recent advance in brain network in temporal lobe epilepsy
Abstract: Epilepsy is a chronic repetitive paroxysmal neurological disorders that caused by abnormal discharge of neurons. Temporal lobe epilepsy is the most common type of epilepsy, and long-term spread of seizures can damage the structure and function of the brain in the wide outside of temporal lobe regions. With the continuous development of the nervous system inspection technology, application of structural and functional examinations reveals the changes of complicated structure, function and metabolism of the epilepsy network. It helps us to explore the further pathogenesis of epilepsy and improve the effectiveness of treatment. Here, we mainly review the recent advance in the changes of structure, function and metabolism of the temporal lobe epilepsy network displayed by different inspection methods.
