%X miRNAs regulate a variety of target proteins and signaling pathways associated with epilepsy. We conducted a cross-sectional study of publications associated with microRNA in epilepsy in the past 10 years using bibliometric methods. Our results showed that the number of publications elevated gradually, peaking in 2020. Countries/institutions collaboration network showed that extensive international cooperation between countries existed and China published the most of papers in this field. USA, Ireland, and other Western countries are also active in this field. Moreover, we identify the most influential authors and publications. Last, Keyword co-occurrence network indicated miR-146a, miR-155 and miR-132 were hotspots and the most studied microRNAs, miR-146a, miR-155 and miR-132 may be potential targets and more mechanisms associated with microRNA in epilepsy will be found.
