Zooming in on brain circuits allows researchers to stop seizure activity

A team of neuroscientists have found, in animal models, that they can ‘switch off’ epileptic seizures. The findings provide the first evidence that while different types of seizures start in varied areas of the brain, they all can be controlled by targeting a very small set of neurons in the brain or their tendril-like neuronal axons.
