Epilepsy is among the most common brain network disorders, and it is associated with substantial morbidity and increased mortality. While focal epilepsy was traditionally thought of as a regional brain disorder, growing evidence has demonstrated widespread network alterations in this disorder which extend beyond the epileptogenic zone from which seizures originate. The goal of this review is to summarize recent investigations examining functional and structural connectivity alterations in focal epilepsy, including neuroimaging and electrophysiology studies utilizing model-based or data-driven analysis methods. A significant subset of studies in both mesial temporal lobe epilepsy and focal neocortical epilepsy have demonstrated patterns of increased connectivity related to the epileptogenic zone, coupled with decreased connectivity in widespread distal networks. Connectivity patterns appear to be related to the duration and severity of disease, suggesting progressive connectivity reorganization in the setting of recurrent seizures over time. Global resting-state connectivity disturbances in focal epilepsy have been linked to neurocognitive problems, including memory and language disturbances. While it is possible that increased connectivity in a particular brain region may enhance the propensity for seizure generation, it is not clear if global reductions in connectivity represent the damaging consequences of recurrent seizures, or an adaptive mechanism to prevent seizure propagation away from the epileptogenic zone. Overall, studying the connectome in focal epilepsy is a critical endeavor which may lead to improved strategies for epileptogenic zone localization, surgical outcome prediction, and a better understanding of the neuropsychological implications of recurrent seizures.
