Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Idiopathic epilepsy is caused by the complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors. The purpose of this study was to use computational approaches to explore the interaction between changes in sodium channel availability caused by mutations and mossy fiber sprouting. METHODS: We used a previously published biophysically realistic computer model of dentate gyrus neurons and networks. A...
