A surprising brain cleanup reduced epileptic seizures and restored memory
SMRTR summary
Scientists discovered that temporal lobe epilepsy triggers premature aging in brain support cells, with epilepsy patients showing five times more aging cells than healthy individuals. When researchers removed these aging cells in mice using a combination of dasatinib and quercetin drugs, the treated animals experienced 50% fewer seizures, restored memory function, and one-third were completely protected from developing epilepsy.
