Novel gene therapy lets a drug quiet brain cells and reduce seizures

Researchers have developed a gene therapy that gives targeted brain cells a switch that responds to a drug. Once the drug activates that switch, the cells become less active, helping to reduce seizures. The approach could offer a more precise way to calm overactive brain circuits than treatments that affect the brain more broadly. It’s an encouraging step toward new options for people living with epilepsy.
