Abstract:
Epilepsy is a brain dysfunction syndrome resulted from many causes,which is closely related to age,especially occuring in the immature brain.Long-term,repeated seizures can lead to immature brain tissue damage,and increase susceptibility of immature brain to epileptic brain damage.Not only does substantia nigra network have the effect of delicate anticonvulsion,but it is also vulnerable to epilepticseizures.Protecting the immature brain substantia nigra pars can prevent or reduce the risk of seizures,epilepsy has an important role in brain injury recovery.Giving children the brain protective drugs aimed directly at substantia nigra pars is a viable and effective method to treat epileptic brain injury.
