Traumatic Brain Injury induces persistent behavioural deficits that are rescued by the antiepileptic drug Levetiracetam

Shayleen Ghassemi, Xavier Penetrante, Tanja C. Zerulla…·W. Ted Allison

This study investigates the long-term behavioral effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in larval zebrafish and evaluates the efficacy of levetiracetam (LEV) in mitigating these deficits.

JNJ-42153605, a mGluR2 PAM, potentiates Levetiracetam treatments of TBI to mitigate subsequent tau aggregation in a larval zebrafish model

Laszlo F. Locskai, Shayleen Ghassemi, Samantha A. W. Tan…·W. Ted Allison

The paper tests whether anti-epileptic drugs and mGluR2 PAMs applied after TBI can prevent tau aggregation and neurodegeneration in a zebrafish model.
