Abstract excerpt
Kainic acid-induced status epilepticus results in delayed degeneration of CA3 hippocampal neurons in the mature but not immature rat hippocampus. In adult rats, the putative opioid precursor, preproenkephalin (PPE) mRNA increases in the dentate gyrus (DG), a region resistant to damage, following continuous limbic seizures. To explore why the immature brain is resistant to seizure-induced damage, the regional...
