Contribution of Aberrant GluK2-Containing Kainate Receptors to Chronic Seizures in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
Kainate is a potent neurotoxin known to induce acute seizures. However, whether kainate receptors (KARs) play any role in the pathophysiology of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is not known. In TLE, recurrent mossy fiber (rMF) axons form abnormal excitatory synapses onto other dentate granule cells tha...
