One of the most prevalent neurological disorders, epilepsy is a temporary brain malfunctioning condition that poses a major risk to people's health and quality of life. It is defined by varying degrees of sensory, motor, behavioral, and autonomic nerve seizure abnormalities [1]. According to statistics, epilepsy affects more than 50 million people worldwide, including tens of millions of sufferers in China [2]. A number of factors, including genetics, blood-brain barrier damage, gene alterations, cellular pathway activation or inhibition, and immunological dysregulation, may contribute to the complex pathophysiology of epilepsy [3].
