Layer-Specific CREB Target Gene Induction in Human Neocortical Epilepsy
10 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
Epilepsy is a disorder of recurrent seizures that affects 1% of the population. To understand why some areas of cerebral cortex produce seizures and others do not, we identified differentially expressed genes in human epileptic neocortex compared with nearby regions that did not produce seizures. The transcriptome that emerged strongly implicates MAPK signaling and CREB-dependent transcription, with 74% of...
