Stopping the Clock on Seizures!
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.
