New research reveals how adaptive myelination can be exploited by seizures, worsening epilepsy. Led by Dr. Juliet Knowles, this study opens new therapy avenues, offering hope for 30% of children with epilepsy who struggle with standard treatments.

How neural insulation can amplify epileptic seizure damage

Some epileptic seizures intensify using the same learning mechanism by which practice makes perfect.
