Figure 7. Graphical summary: anticonvulsants reverse the tauopathy and cell death exhibited by zebrafish larvae following traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Tauopathy was reported via aggregation of a genetically encoded chimeric protein, Tau4R-GFP, that was expressed throughout the central nervous system. TBI led to seizures, and subsequently to Tau aggregation and cell death (akin to chronic traumatic encephalopathy, CTE). The tauopathy and cell death were ameliorated, producing healthy larvae, by blocking seizures with anti-convulsants; these effects were specific insomuch that they could be reversed by co-application of convulsants.
