Abstract excerpt
Nicotine, acting through the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), can induce seizures in mice. We aimed to study brain transcriptional response to seizure and to identify genes whose expression is altered after nicotine-induced seizures. Whole brains of untreated mice were compared with brains 1 h after seizure activity, using Affymetrix U74Av2 microarrays. Experimental groups included wild-type...
