Article Synopsis
- Status epilepticus (SE) can cause severe brain cell damage, leading to conditions like epilepsy, primarily due to mechanisms like excitotoxicity, inflammation, and cell death.
- The study aimed to determine if deep brain stimulation (DBS) can reduce inflammation and prevent cell death during SE in rats.
- Results showed that DBS significantly reduced specific markers of inflammation and cell death in the hippocampus of rats experiencing SE, indicating its potential protective effects.
