Epileptiform Abnormalities Linked to Lower Cognitive Performance in Autism Spectrum Disorder
Bioengineer.org
A study found that individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) who also have epileptiform abnormalities (EAs) or epilepsy show significantly lower cognitive performance compared to those with ASD alone.
