Modulating inflammatory prostaglandin E2 signaling to mitigate neurobehavioral comorbidities associated with seizure disorders by Chenyao Jiang, Ying Yu, Jiawang Liu, Jianxiong Jiang

“…While repeated seizures often lead to behavioral comorbidities, certain types of comorbid conditions may potentially increase the risk for epileptic seizures, indicative of some common mechanisms that might underlie these two conditions. As such, emerging evidence supports that inflammation within the brain might represent a key component of such a shared mechanism, given that neuroinflammation can be induced by seizures and various behavioral stressors, and in turn may exacerbate both conditions. …”
