🐁 the importance of animal research @4BRAIN 🐁

Epilepsy affects about 1% of the population. The condition expresses itself in very different ways, and in some cases epileptic seizures are life-threatening. Several treatments already exist, but unfortunately, in many cases they are still inadequate.

Doctors and other scientists at 4BRAIN at Ghent University study how to optimise the promising technique of deep-brain stimulation. Because research with patients does not lead to sufficient results, rats are also used. As such, more patients can be helped earlier, and lead a life as normal as possible sooner.

VOTE for our our COMON project and make Ghent patients with a neurological problem MOVE!!

COMON wants to make people in Gent β€œmove”.

4BRAIN is involved in one of the project in this competition.

In our project we want to make patients with neurological disorders in Gent move more as physical activity is healthy for the brain! #run4brain ❀️

Please support our COMON project and place your vote here!
