Contribution of Apoptosis-Associated Signaling Pathways to Epileptogenesis: Lessons from Bcl-2 Family Knockouts

Neuronal cell death is a pathophysiological consequence of many brain insults that trigger epilepsy and has been implicated as a causal factor in epileptogenesis. Seizure-induced neuronal death features excitotoxic necrosis and apoptosis-associated signalling pathways, including activation of multip...
