In the brains of patients with epilepsy, apolipoprotein E-mediated lipid transfer from hyperactive neurons to astrocytes results in lipid metabolism reprogramming and formation of lipid-accumulated reactive astrocytes. These astrocytes exacerbate abnormal discharges of neighboring neurons and, in mice, aggravate seizure symptoms, leading to disease progression.
