Neuropsychological evaluation is an essential component of clinical care for people with epilepsy and also has a specialized role in predicting cognitive outcome after epilepsy surgery. Neuropsychological research in the field of epilepsy has had a significant impact on our knowledge regarding memory and language systems, lateralization of cognitive functions, and the heterogeneity in cognitive phenotypes among people with epilepsy. Interventions that consider the impact of health disparities, cognition, psychological functioning, individual risk and resilience factors, and modifiable lifestyle factors, are critical for optimizing cognitive functioning, psychological health, and quality of life for people with epilepsy.
