Abstract excerpt
Changes in the structure and function of inhibitory GABA(A) receptors may contribute to epileptogenesis. We have used the in situ hybridization technique to study GABA(A) receptor alpha2, alpha4, beta3 and gamma2 subunit mRNA expression in the hippocampus of spontaneously seizing rats with chronic temporal lobe epilepsy. In control rats, all four subunit mRNAs were expressed in the hippocampal subregions but the...
