Funded Activity Summary

Stroke and epilepsy are among the most common neurological disorders affecting many Australians. In both disorders, brain metabolism is disturbed. Dr. Borges has found that an edible oil inhibits seizures in mice and it is now being tested in epilepsy patients. This grant will allow her laboratory to study the effects of this oil against stroke and to investigate how it protects the brain. New knowledge obtained will help to develop new treatments for brain disorders.
