    Samenvatting

    Functional magnetic resonance imaging of covert word generation was used to examine brain activation abnormalities associated with topiramate-induced cognitive language impairment in patients with epilepsy. Compared with a control epilepsy group, in the topiramate-treated group, there was significantly less activation in the language-mediating regions of the prefrontal cortex; the topiramate group also had significantly lower neuropsychological language scores. These findings suggest that topiramate has a critical effect on the cerebral neural systems that mediate expressive language.
