Note: Age, years of education, age of seizure onset, year of seizure duration, and number of medications were presented in mean ± SD; Handedness (L/R/A) = handedness (Left/Right/Ambidextrous); Presence of MTS = number of patients with mesial temporal sclerosis; Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney tests were performed for the continuous variables, whereas chi-square tests were performed for the categorical variables.
