In a new study, the University of Iowa biologists have lain out a chain of events that can cause seizures, the most common manifestation of epilepsy, to worsen.
University of Iowa biologists have definitively linked the brain's immune system to epilepsy, through a series of experiments with fruit flies, which share with humans an ancestral gene that, when mutated, leads to seizures. The findings could lead to more effective drugs to treat epilepsy.
