A new study led by the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia (Unimore), recently published in Neurology, offers groundbreaking insights into late-onset temporal lobe epilepsy by demonstrating that this condition is not always linked to Alzheimer’s disease. The research stems from a collaborative effort between the AdvancedMRI Epilepsy Lab, coordinated by Prof. Anna Elisabetta Vaudano, and the Cognitive Neurology and Dementia Neuroimaging group, led by Prof. Giovanna Zamboni. By combining multidisciplinary expertise, the team achieved a detailed patient characterization based on clinical, cognitive, neuroradiological, and biological markers. This work builds upon a 2025 study published in Brain, which had previously highlighted the absence of structural brain alterations in patients with this form of epilepsy, further advancing differential diagnosis and personalized management in clinical care.
