Cognitive phenotypes in temporal lobe epilepsy are associated with distinct patterns of white matter network abnormalities

These findings demonstrate a differential pattern of WM microstructural abnormalities across distinct cognitive phenotypes in TLE that can be appreciated at both the regional and network levels. These findings not only help to unravel the underlying neurobiology associated with cognitive impairment in TLE, but they could also aid in establishing cognitive taxonomies or in the prediction of cognitive course in TLE.
