Abstract excerpt
Functional alterations in movement representations (motor maps) have been observed in some people with epilepsy and, under experimental control, electrically-kindled seizures in rats also result in persistently larger motor maps. To determine if a single event of status epilepticus and its latent consequences can affect motor map expression, we assessed forelimb motor maps in rats using the pilocarpine model of...
