Description: New solutions for learning and mood disorders caused by epilepsy may be a step closer to reality. Producing more brain cells might help, latest research shows. Brain injury caused by an acute seizure can prompt the production of new cells, which researchers say is most likely the result of growth factors released from injured or dead brain cells. What remains unclear are the effects of long-term seizure disorder or epilepsy on brain cell development. Addressing these issues, say researchers, is important since both human and animal studies have shown that learning and memory function are affected by epilepsy.
