Optimal modulation of ion channels rescues neurons associated with epilepsy

Tuesday, October 18, 2011 - 12:30 in Biology & Nature

New research successfully reverses epilepsy-associated pathology by using a sophisticated single-cell modeling paradigm to examine abnormal cell behavior and identify the optimal modulation of channel activity. The study describes a procedure that may be useful for rescuing function in organs with excitable cells, such as the heart and pancreas.
