1/ Antiepileptic drugs: a constantly evolving frontier- like many other fields in #Neurology. It’s hard to know about every single medication in-depth. Here, I attempted to make AEDs simple, easy to understand and a handy layout of important facts to know about #AED #epilepsy.

There are 2 main types of synapses.
A)Excitatory synapse-neurotransmitter is Glutamate- receptors are AMPA and NMDA
B)Inhibitory synapse-neurotransmitter is GABA-receptor is GABAa binding site on ligand gated Cl- channel
