•
A new study reveals a direct link between problems in the cell’s energy factories (mitochondria), inflammation in the brain, and a specific brain chemical called D-serine, which together contribute to the development of epilepsy. This discovery opens the door for new treatments that target this specific biological pathway, potentially offering better control of seizures.
