New York high school seniors Emily McCarthy and Yiorgos Argyros studied the relationship between an important developmental gene (Brd2) and the number of brain cells producing the neurotransmitter GABA in mice predisposed to seizures. Their project found this gene correlated with a greater susceptibility to seizures, which may help explain the genetics behind juvenile myoclonic epilepsy in people and could lead to the development of more effective treatments. Looks like the future of epilepsy and seizure research is in good hands!
