A Cure for Epilepsy
In a recent post on Science Daily (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/05/130503230317.htm) Scott C. Baraban, PhD states that, "Our results are an encouraging step toward using inhibitory neurons for
cell transplantation in adults with severe forms of epilepsy." The procedure was conducted on mice and was effective. He also states that, "This procedure offers the possibility of controlling seizures and rescuing cognitive deficits in these patients." The procedure consisted of implanting brain cells to stop the overactive nerve endings to remain active and cause a seizure. Since epilepsy has become a growing problem, especially in adults, it is good to know scientists are close to finding a cure or a way to stop the seizures that epileptic patients suffer from.

Nice Job at explaining ! It is good to know that scientists are now have a a cure for epilepsy. I am wondering that how they transplant the inhibitory neurons into the human body.
