Brain receptor study offers hope for preventing epilepsy after traumatic brain injury
A new international study has unveiled critical insights in understanding post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE), a condition that can develop following traumatic brain injury. Published in Theranostics, the study highlights the important role played by a receptor in the brain called P2X7. It suggests how we could both reduce epilepsy risk and predict which patients are most at risk of developing PTE by targeting this receptor…
