What the authors concluded
PBM but not Ω-3 reduced both electrographic seizure duration and spikes number in the ipsilateral and contralateral cortices and ventral posteromedial thalamic nucleus. Conclusively, PBM reduced epileptiform discharges in stroke-induced epilepsy. Our results suggest the PBM as a therapeutic approach for stroke-induced epileptogenesis to minimize long-term disease outcomes.
