Studying altered brain cells sheds light on epilepsy

Sunday, April 25, 2010 - 17:10 in Biology & Nature

Neuroscience researchers have zeroed in on a novel mechanism that helps control the firing of electrical signals among neurons. By isolating the molecular and electrical events that occur when this control is disrupted, the new research sheds light on epileptic seizures and potentially on other prominent diseases involving poorly regulated brain activity.
