Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does interictal epileptic discharge correlate with global and frontal cognitive dysfunction in temporal lobe epilepsy?
Answer: In patients with TLE of long duration, IED occurrence was strongly related to cognitive deficits, most pronounced for frontal lobe function. These data suggest that IEDs reflect dysfunctional brain circuitry and may serve as an independent biomarker for cognitive comorbidity.
Output (English): yes
