Abnormal functional connectivity patterns in temporal lobe epilepsy—An international <scp>ENIGMA</scp> ‐epilepsy study

Abstract

In this international ENIGMA-Epilepsy study, resting-state fMRI data from 442 individuals with TLE showed reduced connectivity within major resting-state networks (about 14% lower) and markedly increased connectivity between networks (about 129% higher), compared to 387 healthy controls. These patterns were highly reproducible across sites. Connectivity alterations were not related to age of onset or disease duration and were largely similar across left and right TLE, aside from small, region-specific differences. Overall, the study demonstrates a robust, widespread reorganization of brain network connectivity in TLE, which may help explain associated cognitive difficulties and seizure spread.
