TL;DR: Patients with JME require special management because their epilepsy starts in the vulnerable period of adolescence and, accordingly, they have lifestyle issues that typically increase the likelihood of seizures with poor adherence to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs).
Journal ArticleDOI
Frontal lobe function and structure in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy: a comprehensive review of neuropsychological and imaging data.

TL;DR: Cognitive dysfunction in otherwise healthy siblings of patients with JME and a high heritability support the concept of a genetically determined thalamo‐frontocortical network dysfunction, accounting for the cognitive impairment and cognitively triggered “motor seizures.”
Journal ArticleDOI
Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy: A system disorder of the brain

TL;DR: Genetically determined dysfunctions of important cognitive systems like visuomotor coordination and linguistic communication appear now as key mechanisms of seizure generation in JME.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Increased amygdalo-hippocampal volume is revealed in cases of SUDEP and in individuals at high risk, compared to individuals at low risk and people without epilepsy.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Patients with an epilepsy onset after 65 years need lower doses of AEDs, gain better seizure control and have more concomitant diseases than younger patients or elderly epilepsy patients with early‐onset epilepsy.
