Funded Activity Summary

Recurrent seizures arising from abnormal brain activity are call epilepsy. Presently, epilepsy is treated using medicines by mouth. These often cause side effects affecting other body systems such as liver. Such effects can make patients ill or prevent them using particular drugs for epilepsy. Developing ways to deliver epilepsy medication directly to brain may allow better control of epileptic seizures with fewer side effects. We hope to develop a new such system using rats with epilepsy.
