From gut bacteria to the brain, a chemical, sodium butyrate traveled through the bloodstream after traumatic injury, where 4 months of treatment helped scientists reduce inflammation, protect brain cells and made seizures less frequent

Post-traumatic epilepsy treatment : A traumatic brain injury may look like it is healing on the outside while the brain continues to change underneath. Inflammation can persist, injured brain circuits can rewire in harmful ways, and weeks, months, or even years after the original injury, post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) can develop, as per a report.

Researchers at Texas A&M University are studying whether the period between the initial injury and the first seizure could offer a chance to intervene.
