Carriers of the apolipoprotein (ApoE) ɛ4 allele are at greater risk for developing late - onset Alzheimer's disease (AD), develop AD at an earlier age, and experience a
more severe cognitive decline and shorter survival times.
This cumulative damage over a lifetime of seizures could contribute to
severe cognitive decline or even death in patients with epilepsy.
Previous studies from Johns Hopkins and other centers have shown that people with Alzheimer's disease and
severe cognitive decline have severe loss of serotonin neurons, but the studies did not show whether those reductions were a cause or effect of the disease.
