Long‐term chemogenetic suppression of spontaneous seizures in a mouse model for temporal lobe epilepsy

Abstract

This study shows the potency of chemogenetics to robustly and sustainably suppress spontaneous epileptic seizures and pave the way for an epilepsy therapy in which a systemically administered exogenous drug selectively modulates specific cell types in a seizure network, leading to a potent seizure suppression devoid of the typical drug-related side effects.
