Stopping the Clock on Seizures!

Xiaoqin Fu et al. Trends Neurosci. 2021 Jun.

Abstract

A recent paper by Zhang et al. shows that REV-ERBα, a negative regulator of the circadian molecular clock, is pro-convulsant through its action on GABA signaling. The findings support the role of the circadian molecular clock in epilepsy and suggest REV-ERBα as a potential therapeutic target for the management of seizures.

Keywords: circadian molecular clock; epilepsy; tonic GABA.
