Attenuation of Seizures, Cognitive Deficits, and Brain Histopathology by Phytochemicals of Imperata cylindrica (L.) P. Beauv (Poaceae) in Acute and Chronic Mutant Drosophila melanogaster Epilepsy Models.

Summary

Researchers studied the neuroprotective effects of on a mutant model of epilepsy in flies. The study showed that the extract reduced neurodegeneration, convulsions, and cognitive deficits in the flies. This was likely due to the extract's antioxidative and inhibitory properties. The findings suggest that has potential as an anticonvulsant and antiepileptogenic treatment, but more research is needed to confirm its efficacy.
