摘要: Dysfunction of excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters or neuromodulators is thought to underlie epileptic symptoms. Taurine, 2-aminoethanesulfonate, a ubiquitous free amino acid abounding in the brain humans most animal species. It hyperpolarizes neurons inhibits their firing. may be participating factor certain subpopulations epilepsy patients but its deficiency not universal prerequisite for seizures. Here, participation taurine seizure models human reviewed.
