The temporal lobe plays a vital role in epilepsy and it is the most frequent lobe involved in focal onset seizures. Specific biomarkers that predict development of cognitive deficits have not been identified. Some recent studies had suggested that Hsp70 may be useful biomarkers for central nervous system damage in adults. However, only few papers studied the relationship between Hsp70 as a stress biomarker in epilepsy and its relation to cognitive function in those patients. The objectives of this study are to assess Hsp70 as a biomarker of stress in TLE and to evaluate its relation to cognitive function in those patients
