Abstract
Cellular senescence is a cell state induced by irreparable cellular damage. The hallmark of senescence is cell cycle exit, yet neurons, which are postmitotic from birth, have also been found to undergo senescence. Neuronal senescence is prevalent in aging as well as in neurodegenerative disease. However, a role for senescence in epilepsy is virtually unexplored. In this issue of the JCI, Ge and authors used resected brain tissue from individuals with drug-resistant epilepsy, a genetic knockout mouse model, and a chemoconvulsant mouse model, to demonstrate a subset of cortical pyramidal senescent neurons that likely contribute to the pathophysiology of epilepsy. These findings highlight senescence as a possible target in precision-therapy approaches for epilepsy and warrant further investigation.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
