Epileptic seizures reduced in mice after removal of newborn neurons

Epileptic seizures happen in one of every 10 people who have experienced a traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, new research has uncovered an innovative approach to possibly slow the progression of epilepsy. Researchers have successfully removed new neurons that have developed after a brain injury to reduce seizures in mice. They believe that the technique could potentially reduce post-injury epilepsy.
