Neuroscientists prevented the development of epileptic activity in mice after TBI by using a drug that mimics the metabolic effects of the ketogenic diet, as published in JCI Insight. Post-traumatic epilepsy develops within three years of a TBI in about 1 out of 10 people. TBIs lead to the dysfunction of the brain’s inhibitory network, including the cells that normally quiet
