Surgical Specimen of an Antiepileptic-Resistant Patient

Caption

This is a surgical specimen of an antiepileptic-resistant patient with temporal lobe epilepsy, which represents a unique access to the human brain tissue (upper left). Nerve cells, visible as blue dots, significantly contribute to the development of epileptic seizures. In the lower right-hand part of the image, cells marked in yellow are seen completely filled with sestrin-3.
