Altered Structural Network in Newly Onset Childhood Absence Epilepsy.

CONCLUSIONS: Patients with CAE showed a reduced bilateral frontotemporal cortical GM volume and an increased posterior medial cortical thickness, which are associated with the default mode network. These structural changes can be suggested as the neural basis of the absence seizures and neuropsychiatric comorbidities in CAE. PMID: 33029962 [PubMed]
