Transient, developmental functional and structural connectivity abnormalities in the thalamocortical motor network in Rolandic epilepsy

•Children with active Rolandic epilepsy have increasing thalamocortical functional connectivity in the motor circuit with age.•Children with resolved Rolandic epilepsy have increasing thalamocortical structural connectivity in the motor circuit with age.•Children with Rolandic epilepsy have no differences in thalamocortical connectivity in the sensory circuit compared to controls.•Rolandic thalamocortical structural connectivity does not predict functional connectivity in Rolandic epilepsy or controls.
