[Abstract] Benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (BECTS), also known as Rolandic epilepsy, is the most common idiopathic focal epilepsy syndrome in childhood. Its characteristic electroencephalogram shows centrotemporal spikes. BECTS was considered primarily a benign disease, but with advancement in neuropsychology studies, it has been found that cognitive dysfunction is prevalent in BECTS patients. Brain network research based on various neural imaging technologies has confirmed that there are abnormalities in brain structure and functional networks such as default mode network (DMN), language network and sensorimotor network in BECTS, which may be the potential neural mechanism of cognitive impairment. However, we still lack a comprehensive picture of the mechanism, multicenter, multimodal and longitudinal studies should be carried out in the future to further explore. This review will summarize recent findings on the brain network of BECTS.
