Summary

This study will use MRI and PET scan to compare the brain imaging results between epilepsy patients and normal healthy controls, also to study changes in 3 years.

Detailed description

We would like to continue analyzing the structural and metabolic differences between two epilepsy groups (JME and FLE) and the control to understand the imaging presentations of epilepsy patients
