Cognitive outcomes after deep brain stimulation in drug‐resistant epilepsy: A comparison of anterior thalamic and hippocampal stimulation

Key Points

• Cognitive outcomes show significant differences, highlighting the impact of stimulation type on epilepsy treatment.
• Patients experienced varied effects, with anterior thalamic stimulation improving memory more than hippocampal stimulation.
• Analysis focused on drug-resistant epilepsy, assessing outcomes over a defined timeframe and specific cognitive functions.
• Insights into stimulation techniques may enable more personalized epilepsy management strategies in clinical practice.
