Assessment of Cognitive Function in Epilepsy

Patients with epilepsy have a threefold greater risk of cognitive & other mental problems than individuals without neurologic problems, due to the direct effects of seizures, the effects of associated neuropsychological deficits & adverse medication effects. This book defines existing computerized testing methods being applied to the assessment of neuropsychological functions in patients with epilepsy, with particular emphasis placed on the role of computerized testing in monitoring cognitive effects of antiepileptic agents in patients of varying ages. This volume will be of interest to all clinicians & researchers involved in the measurement of neuropsychological function in epilepsy &, more generally, wherever disease or drugs have the potential to affect mental functioning.Dodson, W.
