Abstract excerpt
Neuroinflammation is a key component of epileptogenesis, the process leading to acquired epilepsy. In recent years, with the development of non-invasive in vivo positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of translocator protein 18 kDa (TSPO), a marker of neuroinflammation, it has become possible to perform longitudinal studies to characterize neuroinflammation at different disease stages in animal models of...
