Scientific evidence from human studies, particularly in healthy subjects, confirms topiramate's ability to increase cerebral GABA levels, supporting its role in modulating brain excitability. Broader clinical research establishes its efficacy in epilepsy and migraine prevention, with consistent reductions in seizure frequency and headache occurrence across randomized trials, though data specific to healthy humans remains limited to pharmacological mechanisms rather than broad health benefits.
