In the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy, neuropsychology makes an important contribution to the comprehensive characterization of patients. Through the administration of standardized psychometric tests, cognitive and behavioral strengths and deficits of patients can be detected and quantified. Neuropsychological assessments not only provide useful information regarding the functionality of affected brain structures and networks, but can also be used to examine psychosocial difficulties of epilepsy patients as well as potential cognitive side effects of antiepileptic drugs [1–2].
