Abstract
The results of this study suggest that seizure frequency can alter functional brain connectivity, which can be visualized by using resting-state fMRI. Imaging features such as diffuse network abnormalities, involvement of the default mode network, and recruitment of medial temporal lobe structures were seen only in patients with frequent seizures. Future studies in more common epilepsy groups, however, will be required to further establish this finding.
