Cognitive disorders in patients with epilepsy were studied before and after the 6-week treatment with encephabol. The data on the examination of 24 patients were summarized. Before the treatment, patients with epilepsy demonstrated a larger number of errors, lower speed of reading and worse learning of the content compared to the controls (18 healthy people).

[Mental and behavioral disorders in idiopathic focal epileptiform spikes].

Clinical correlates of so-called "benign epileptiform spikes in children", centro-temporal (rolandic) spikes and occipital spikes, have been studied in 200 children, aged 3-17 years, with mental, behavioral and neuropsychological disorders without epileptic seizures (non-paroxysmal epileptic disorders). Centro-temporal spikes prevailing in the left hemisphere were observed in older children and predominantly related to verbal and speech disorders. Occipital spikes were observed in younger children mainly in the right hemisphere being related to non-verbal and neuropsychological disorders.
