Description

The study demonstrates that ganaxolone treatment significantly reduces behavioral deficits and neuroinflammation after OP exposure, but the specific molecular pathways mediating this protection are not explained. Understanding these mechanisms is critical for optimizing neurosteroid-based interventions and identifying additional therapeutic targets.
