Progress in functional imaging of autoimmune encephalitis associated with epilepsy

Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) associated with epilepsy is a significant clinical syndrome, which is characterized by refractory seizures, cognitive deficits, neuropsychiatric disturbances. Many studies have been clearly notified that early diagnosis combined with immunotherapy can apparently improve...
