In epilepsy, BAD is not really bad
Abstract
In this issue of Neuron, Giménez-Cassina et al. (2012) show that fuel utilization by neuronal mitochondria, controlled by the Bcl-2 family member BAD, defines response to seizures. Control of K(ATP) channels by mitochondrial metabolism might be a target for antiepileptic therapies.
