Abstract excerpt
Tottering mice are a spontaneously occurring animal model of human absence epilepsy. They carry a mutation in the P/Q-type calcium channel alpha1A subunit gene which is highly expressed by cerebellar Purkinje cells. In this study, we investigated the role of calretinin and ryanodine receptor type 1 (RyR1) gene expression in the cerebellum of tottering mice. Cerebellar tissue specimens from four experimental...
