Neuropsychological Assessment
Multiple seizures or brain disorders that may cause epilepsy can affect one’s cognitive functions. Cognitive functions like memory and communication skills are usually affected. An assessment can be taken by the neurologist to know how worse the epilepsy is. This assessment is taken based on the functions of the structures in the brain and they help the doctor to determine which parts of the brain are affected.
Wada Test
Wada test is a test done before a surgery for epilepsy. It helps the doctor to assess each side of the brain. This test helps to predict the kind of method that is best suited for the surgery so that areas that control speech and memory are preserved.
