Summary

This study looked at 22 children with a common form of epilepsy (BECTS) who often have language and learning difficulties. Researchers used a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS to temporarily quiet abnormal brain activity and measured changes in brain connections. The goal was to understand if reducing this activity could improve language skills, but the study was small and focused on measuring effects, not providing a treatment.
