The role of cytokines in seizures: interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-1Ra, IL-8, and IL-10
Youngah Youn, In Kyung Sung, In Goo Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2013;56(7):271-274.   Published online July 19, 2013

Brain insults, including neurotrauma, infection, and perinatal injuries such as hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, generate inflammation in the brain. These inflammatory cascades induce a wide spectrum of cytokines, which can cause neuron degeneration, have neurotoxic effects on brain tissue, and lead to the development of seizures, even if they are subclinical and occur at birth. Cytokines are secreted by the glial...
