SAN ANTONIO - Researchers at The University of Texas Health Science Center
at San Antonio have developed the first genetic mouse model for
non-convulsive temporal lobe seizures, a common form of epilepsy that
affects nearly 600,000 Americans.
Robert Brenner, Ph.D., assistant professor of physiology at the Health
Science Center, and Glenn Toney, Ph.D., associate professor of physiology,
worked with colleagues at the Health Science Center, Stanford University
and Baylor College of Medicine on the project, which was reported in
December in Nature Neuroscience.
The physiologists are studying "BK channels," a family of proteins with
major functions in the brain, ...
