Executive dysfunction is associated with an altered executive control network in pediatric temporal lobe epilepsy

Objectives Children with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) exhibit executive dysfunction on traditional neuropsychological tests. However, there is limited evidence of neural network alterations associated with this clinical executive dysfunction. The objective of this study was to characterize working memory deficits in children with TLE via activation of the executive control network on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and determine the...
