Some epilepsy patients spend their whole lives dealing with the condition. Others develop the debilitating condition following a head injury. Now a new study from Israel provides new way to diagnose and prevent injury-related epilepsy.

Researchers from the Sackler Faculty of Medicine at Tel Aviv University found that a very low dose of the active ingredient in marijuana (THC) may protect brain cells before and after brain injury, and can also protect against the development of cardiac damage.

A new study from Tel Aviv University may have found a way to reverse brain damage, by using a specialized oxygen chamber. The new method of treatment is said to restore a significant amount of neurological function in brain tissue thought to be chronically damaged — even years after initial injury.
