Nowadays, an increasing number of researches have shown that epilepsy, as a kind of neural network disease, not only affects the brain region of seizure onset, but also remote regions at which the brain network structures are damaged or dysfunctional. These changes are associated with abnormal network of epilepsy. Resting-state network is closely related to human cognitive function and plays an important role in cognitive process. Cognitive dysfunction, a common comorbidity of epilepsy, has adverse impacts on life quality of patients with epilepsy. The mechanism of cognitive dysfunction in epileptic patients is still incomprehensible, but the change of resting-state brain network may be associated with their cognitive impairment. In order to further understand the changes of resting-state network associated with the cognitive function and explore the brain network mechanism of the occurrence of cognitive dysfunction in patients with epilepsy, we review the related researches in recent years.
