Article Synopsis
- A growing body of research highlights the interaction between ovarian steroids and serotonin systems, which plays a role in seizures and the development of epilepsy.
- Estrogen can help protect neurons from seizure-induced damage by enhancing survival factors and supporting certain types of internal brain cells.
- Serotonin's impact on seizures can vary – while some serotonin-related treatments may reduce seizures, lower serotonin levels can increase seizure activity, suggesting that targeting specific serotonin receptors could benefit seizure treatment strategies.
