Study Discovers Chemical Reaction That May Help in Managing Epilepsy
Scientists at Case Western Reserve University have discovered a possible new approach to control epileptic seizures. Lin Mei, chair of the Department of Neurosciences at the university’s School of Medicine and lead of the study, stated that the researchers identified a new chemical reaction that may help to better manage epileptic seizures. The research, which was conducted using mice models, was reported in the “Journal of Clinical Investigation.” Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that brings about periods of unusual behavior and seizures, loss of awareness and sensations when brain activity becomes abnormal. The human brain has more than 85 billion…
