Seizure-Induced Neurogenesis

A downside to neurogenesis.

From the end of the 20th century, neuroscientists began trying to understand how and why neurogenesis - the birth of new neurons - occurs post-development. Today, when we think of neurogenesis, we generally think of it as a beneficial process, important in learning and memory. However, neurogenesis also has a dark side - it may be detrimental to patients of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) (an epilepsy involving the amygdala and hippocampus), who experience too much of it after seizures. However, this seizure-induced neurogenesis may also lead to positive outcomes such as increased creativity (1).
I will have to look this wiki over, I attempted several times to get stroke forum creators to create a wiki for stroke rehab with no success. And for only 39.95 I could get my own wiki.
