abstract：:Approximately 30% of all epilepsy cases are acquired. At present there is no effective strategy to stop epilepsy development after the precipitating insult. Recent data from experimental models pointed to the mTOR pathway, which can be potently inhibited by rapamycin. However, data on the antiepileptic and antiepilept...
