Traumatic brain injury is a risk factor for epilepsy. A new study published in Oxford Journals' Cerebral Cortex identifies increased levels of a specific neurotransmitter as a contributing factor. The findings suggest that damage to a specific type of brain cell plays a role in the development of epilepsy after a traumatic brain injury.
