Alterations in mRNA levels in the dentate gyrus in epileptic rats. Rattus norvegicus

Analysis of the dentate gyrus of amygdala electrical stimulation model of temporal lobe epilepsy. Results provide insight into the molecular mechanism underlying epileptogenesis. Overall design: This study was designed to estimate changes in gene expression levels after 7 and 30 days after electrical stimulation of amygdala as a model of temporal lobe epilepsy. The advantage of this study is time matched control (sham operated animals sacrificed at the same age as stimulated animals).
