Behavioural treatment of slow cortical potentials in intractable epilepsy: neuropsychological predictors of outcome.

摘要: The study aimed to explore the predictive value of neuropsychological tests within context acquisition slow cortical potential (SCP) self-control, a technique which has beneficial effects on seizure frequency in epilepsy. Patients with epilepsy who successfully achieved SCP control had longer digit or block-tapping spans than less successful patients. showed better learning rate across training also displayed verbal memory and abilities. Seizure reduction was related only. results indicate that measures attention, as indicated by spans, offer some for treatment outcome, whilst visuospatial frontal lobe function are unrelated reduction.
