Abstract excerpt
Our laboratory has been studying the spastic Han-Wistar (sHW) rat as a model of neuronal degeneration. Mutant sHW rats display a number of developmental abnormalities that eventually lead to hippocampal pyramidal cell death and synaptic reorganization starting around 30 days of age. The present study examined the contribution of hippocampal reorganization to the expression of seizures induced by systemic...
