New study highlights the role of astrocytes in the development of epilepsy following the most common type of traumatic brain injury in humans.
Epilepsy During Pregnancy - Causes, Symptoms, Complications, Treatment
Seizures or epilepsy during pregnancy can be fatal for both the mother and child and needs urgent medical intervention. The reasons are often unknown.

‘New animal model could improve understanding of post-traumatic epilepsy. ’
Stefanie Robel, Oleksii Shandra and colleagues induced mild traumatic brain injury in mice to mimic blows to the head that result in human concussions. A unique population of astrocytes responded to these injuries and the researchers observed spontaneous recurrent seizures in some mice within one month.

Drug Repositioning Helps to Identify New Anti-epilepsy Drugs
Gene expression profiling and bioinformatics proves that drugs which significantly decrease seizures in zebrafish decrease seizures in humans as well
