Description

The study shows C1q correlates with sleep spindle loss and epileptic activity emergence, but the causal pathways connecting complement activation to these specific electrophysiological changes remain unexplained. Understanding these mechanisms is critical for developing targeted therapies for post-TBI sleep and seizure disorders.
