Abstract
Name of the inventor: Saul Silverstein
A method for treating a subject either during or soon after a seizure, in order to reduce the extent of the resulting neuronal damage is described.
A method for inhibiting neuronal damage comprises administering a prophylactically effective amount of an inhibitor/receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) which would otherwise result from a seizure in the event the subject were to suffer a seizure.
The method is useful in the treatment/inhibition of human seizure disorders.
