Description

Keppra’s mechanism, though not fully understood, is believed to involve the inhibition of voltage-dependent N-type calcium channels and modulation of neurotransmitter release, which aids in stabilizing neuronal activity and preventing excessive electrical activity in the brain. This action helps in controlling seizures without being directly related to conventional GABAergic signaling pathways, which sets it apart from many other antiepileptic drugs.
