The present paper aims at presenting a critical revision of the literature concerning learning disabilities in epilepsy. We will also address the issue of tolerability of antiepileptic drugs in terms of effects on cognitive functions. Finally, we will discuss the possible role of subclinical paroxysmal activities in learning disabilities.

Keywords: Epilepsy, cognitive functions, cognitive deficits, antiepilepsy drugs
