ABSTRACT:       P>As part of the 2009 International League Against
Epilepsy (ILAE) Centenary Celebration, a special symposium was dedicated
to Epilepsia (100 Years of Epilepsia: Landmark Papers and Their
Influence). The Associate Editors were asked to identify a particularly
salient and meaningful paper in their areas of expertise. From the
content areas of neuropsychology and neuropsychiatry two very
interesting
papers were identified using quite different ascertainment techniques.
One paper addressed the problem of psychosis in temporal lobe epilepsy,
whereas the other represents the first paper to appear in Epilepsia
presenting quantitative assessment of cognitive status in epilepsy.
These
two papers are reviewed in detail and placed in historical context.
