Johns Hopkins researchers discover how epilepsy drug modulates brain activity

By super cooling a molecule on the surface of brain cells down to about minus 180 degrees Celsius - nearly twice as cold as the coldest places in Antarctica - scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have determined how a widely-used epilepsy drug works to dampen the excitability of brain cells and help to control, although not cure, seizures.
