Epilepsy occurs in a small proportion of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI), but whether it is due to concomitant traumatic head injury or to changes in cortical motor neurons secondary to axotomy within the spinal cord is not known. Na(v)1.3/brain type III sodium channel expression is up-regula
