abstract = {Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), one of the most common
pharmaco-resistant epilepsies, is associated with pathology
of paralimbic brain regions, particularly in the
mesiotemporal lobe. Cognitive dysfunction in TLE is
frequent, and particularly affects episodic memory.
Crucially, these difficulties challenge the quality of life
of patients, sometimes more than seizures, underscoring the
need to assess neural processes of cognitive dysfunction in
TLE to improve patient management.Our work harnessed a novel
conceptual and analytical approach to assess spatial
gradients of microstructural differentiation between
cortical areas based on high-resolution MRI analysis.
Gradients track region-to-region variations in intracortical
lamination and myeloarchitecture, serving as a system-level
measure of structural and functional
reorganization.Comparing cortex-wide microstructural
gradients between 21 patients and 35 healthy controls, we
observed a reorganization of this gradient in TLE driven by
reduced microstructural differentiation between paralimbic
cortices and the remaining cortex with marked abnormalities
in ipsilateral temporopolar and dorsolateral prefrontal
regions. Findings were replicated in an independent cohort.
Using an independent post-mortem dataset, we observed that
in vivo findings reflected topographical variations in
cortical cytoarchitecture. We indeed found that macroscale
changes in microstructural differentiation in TLE reflected
increased similarity of paralimbic and primary sensory/motor
regions. Disease-related transcriptomics could furthermore
show specificity of our findings to TLE over other common
epilepsy syndromes. Finally, microstructural
dedifferentiation was associated with cognitive network
reorganization seen during an episodic memory functional MRI
paradigm and correlated with interindividual differences in
task accuracy.Collectively, our findings showing a pattern
of reduced microarchitectural differentiation between
paralimbic regions and the remaining cortex provide a
structurally-grounded explanation for large-scale functional
network reorganization and cognitive dysfunction
characteristic of TLE.},
