Buffered Cortisol Response to Stress in Patients With Epilepsy and Its Association With Memory and Quality of Life
Patients with epilepsy may exhibit a buffered cortisol response to acute stress. Preservation of this response is associated with better clinical, cognitive, and QOL outcomes. Despite limitations such as the cross-sectional design and sample specificity, these findings could help clarify the underlying mechanisms of stress-epilepsy interaction.
