Abstract

The mechanisms underlying cognitive impairment in epilepsy remain poorly understood. Ammothumkandy et al.<sup>1</sup> reveal that the loss of adult immature neurons correlates with auditory verbal learning deficits in human mesial temporal lobe epilepsy during a critical disease period, underscoring the pivotal role of adult neurogenesis in specific cognitive domain.
