Recurrent limbic seizures do not cause hippocampal neuronal loss: A prolonged laboratory study.

CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that the neuronal loss associated with limbic epilepsy precedes the onset of the seizures and is not a consequence of recurrent seizures. However, intermittent seizures do cause other structural changes in the brain, the functional consequences of which are unclear. PMID: 33207277 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
