Epilepsy Connectome Project (ECP)
The ECP was a multisite project conducted in the United States of America between 2016 and 2018, which aimed to characterise brain connectivity changes in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). The study recruited and assessed 92 patients with TLE and 50 healthy controls (HCs) between the ages of 18 and 60 years. Participants were followed up one year after the baseline testing for repeat MRI and neuropsychological testing.
