2011 “Prevention of Epilepsy After Traumatic Brain Injury” Award
CURE seeks novel research projects of relevance to the prevention and treatment of post-traumatic epilepsy including the cellular, molecular, and systems-level understanding of the underlying pathogenic mechanisms; specific approaches to interdict the development of post-traumatic epilepsy; animal models of post-traumatic epilepsy; and investigations of the impact, natural history, and epidemiology of post-traumatic epilepsy. For the purposes of this program, “post-traumatic epilepsy” is defined as epilepsy related to traumatic brain injury.
