They found how fasting affects neurons in the brain, which could create new approaches with medicines, potentially eliminating the need for fasting or restrictive diets. There is a long history of the association between calorie restriction and reduced seizures in epilepsy. However, scientists and doctors have been unsure exactly why restrictive eating aided in reducing attacks until now.
