Kainate Seizures Cause Acute Dendritic Injury and Actin Depolymerization<i>In Vivo</i>
24 Oct 2007
Abstract excerpt
Seizures may cause brain injury via a variety of mechanisms, potentially contributing to cognitive deficits in epilepsy patients. Although seizures induce neuronal death in some situations, they may also have "nonlethal" pathophysiological effects on neuronal structure and function, such as modifying dendritic morphology. Previous studies involving conventional fixed tissue analysis have demonstrated a chronic...
