Abstract
Stem cells represent a promising source of neurons for the potential treatment of a host of neurological conditions, including epilepsy. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Cunningham et al. (2014) use cortical GABAergic interneuron progenitors derived from human embryonic stem cells to treat chronic temporal lobe epilepsy in a mouse model.
