People who suffer a brain injury – for example through trauma, stroke or infection – are at an increased risk of developing epilepsy, and this is often difficult to treat. The precise mechanisms involved are still not fully understood and research is ongoing. In a recent study, scientists in Boston investigated changes in GABA- and glutamate-signalling following traumatic brain injury, to see whether these contribute to the development of epilepsy.
