Silencing Cells in the Deep Brain May Protect Against Injury - Technology Networks

Having a stroke or traumatic brain injury increases the risk of developing epilepsy, but silencing astrocytes deep in the brain could help protect the brain from long-term damage after injury.

For days, and even years, after someone suffers a stroke or traumatic brain injury, they have an increased risk of developing epilepsy. Now, researchers at Gladstone Institutes discovered that star-s… [+5813 chars]
