Persistent Increased DNA-Binding and Expression of Serum Response Factor Occur with Epilepsy-Associated Long-Term Plasticity Changes

Abstract excerpt

We have previously shown that NMDA receptor activation during status epilepticus (SE) is required to produce epilepsy in in vitro and in vivo models. As in human symptomatic epilepsy, the epilepsy in these models is permanent, suggesting that the pathological activation of NMDA receptors causes permanent plasticity changes in the brain. Ca(2+) influx through NMDA receptors is known to transiently activate a key...
