Candidate genes associated with epileptogenicity.

The 40 genes that are specifically differentially expressed within the epileptogenic region and whose expression changes are not due to the effects of the lesion or seizures. These genes are grouped based on function from their associated GO categories. The arrows in the last column denote the direction of the expression changes within the epileptogenic region. There were twelve genes that were significantly down-regulated, and these genes were either associated with signaling or differentiation. The twenty-eight genes that were significantly upregulated within the epileptogenic region were spread out among all functional categories.
