A growing body of literature is shedding light on the underlying neural processes, but detailed knowledge of network reorganization across the epilepsy spectrum remains sparse. In this talk, I will present findings of MRI studies we conducted to investigate the neural correlates of cognitive impairment in epilepsy, and to capture commonalities and differences between epilepsy types. First, I will discuss work focusing on the heritability of cognitive reorganization patterns in idiopathic generalized epilepsy. Second, I will present work that characterized the disorganization of language and working memory systems in frontal and temporal lobe epilepsy using a combination of regional, network and functional-gradient based analyses. I will then discuss dynamic functional connectivity work that identifies shared and unique network signatures in the aforementioned epilepsy types, and briefly outline an attempt towards clinical translation of multi-scale functional imaging findings.
