Research project funded to study serotonergic circuit mechanisms involved in postictal recovery and arousal, with the goal of preventing seizure-related death in epilepsy models.
Description
This project aims to understand how seizures impair CO2-arousal in mouse models of temporal lobe epilepsy and Dravet Syndrome, focusing on neuronal function in arousal-related brain regions, and testing interventions to prevent seizure-induced death.
