    The Th17/Treg balance is essential for immune homeostasis in the brain. While Th17 cells are proinflammatory and neurotoxic, Treg (CD4+Foxp3+) lymphocytes exert immunosuppressive effects that limit excessive inflammation and maintain tolerance. In epileptic conditions, this balance shifts toward Th17 predominance, as reflected by decreased Treg frequency and function, reduced FoxP3 expression, and upregulated RORγt-mediated Th17 differentiation.[1]

    Helminths improve the Th17/Tregs ratio and could therefore have an beneficial effect.
