Characteristics of patients with focal epilepsy and healthy controls. Variables are summarized as means ± standard deviations for normal data or median (interquartile range) for non-normally distributed data. FSIQ, full-scale IQ; FBTCS, focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures; FSIA, focal seizures with and without impairment of awareness; F, frontal; T, temporal; FT, frontotemporal; L, left; R, right; Bi, bilateral; NA, not applicable. Statistically significant differences between groups is denoted by ** p < .01.
