Epilepsy is often associated with cognitive impairment and that can have a profound impact on the quality of life of patients. There are no established biomarkers for diagnosing cognitive impairment in persons with epilepsy. The objective of our project is to assess the relationship between blood biomarkers and cognitive impairment in persons with epilepsy and also to assess few markers in the resected tissue samples of epilepsy patients.
