Light- and temperature-sensitive seizures are regulated by spatially distinct cortex glial populations in the central nervous system.

Abstract excerpt

Epilepsy is characterized by recurrent seizures due to abnormal neuronal activity originating from a population of neurons. Seizures are often associated with abnormal glial cell function at the seizure focus. Studies have shown that each glial type, such as astrocytes, displays a significant degree of heterogeneity in their development, molecular signatures, and function depending on the brain region in which...
