Neuronal-astrocytic interactions in 1-month-old Genetic Absence Epilepsy Rats from Strasbourg (GAERS) before the occurrence of seizures are compared to those in non-epileptic rats (NERs) and in adult GAERS expressing epilepsy. Animals received [1-13C]glucose and [1,2-13C]acetate, preferential substrates of neurons and astrocytes, respectively, and extracts from cerebral cortex, subcortex and cerebellum were...
