Forskare vid Lunds universitet har använt mänsklig hjärnvävnad när de testat nya behandlingsstrategier för epilepsi. I en aktuell studie visar forskarna att en specifik neuropeptid har mycket goda antiepileptiska egenskaper. Resultaten kan få betydelse för de patienter med epilepsi som är resistenta mot dagens mediciner. Neuropeptiderna galanin och NPY är signalämnen som i djurförsök visat sig ha
