Abstract: BackgroundPatient selection for seizure prophylaxis after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and duration of anti-epileptic drug treatment for patients with early post-traumatic seizures (PTS), remain plagued with uncertainty. In early 2017, a collaborative group of neurosurgeons, neurologists, neurointensive… read more here.

Abstract: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) induces neuroinflammatory response that can initiate epileptogenesis, which develops into epilepsy. Recently, we identified anti-convulsive effects of naltrexone, a mu-opioid receptor (MOR) antagonist, used to treat drug addiction. While blocking opioid… read more here.
