All subjects will undergo comprehensive neuropsychological assessment post-LITT per standard of care practice.
Visual field testing will be conducted in a subset of enrolled patients.
- Site-determined cognitive changes per domain [ Time Frame: At least six months from baseline assessment ]Neuropsychological test data will be collected for all study participants to describe cognitive domain specific changes as a cohort. Change will be assessed from raw test scores and demographically corrected standardized scores (where available). For this study, collected cognitive domains include Language, Executive Function, Attention, Verbal Memory, Visual Memory, Verbal Fluency, and Motor Function.
- Change in raw test scores from standard battery of preferred neuropsychological tests [ Time Frame: At least six months from baseline assessment ]Describe the observed change or stability of neuropsychological test scores in patients who underwent laser ablation surgery. Change will be assessed from raw test scores and demographically corrected standardized scores (where available). For this study, tests include Boston Naming, Trails making Test A and Test B, Digit Span, Logical memory test (subtest from Wechsler Memory Scale IV), BVMT--Brief Visuospatial Memory Test, Animal Fluency test, and Grooved Pegboard.
- Incidence of visual field deficits in patients with MTLE [ Time Frame: At least six months from baseline assessment ]Visual field testing using Humphry automated fields (HVF 24-2 SITA standard) will be conducted for a subset of patients to identify visual field deficits resulting after the LITT procedure.
