Here, we present a novel infant rat model of mTLE (InfRPil-mTLE) based on a repetitive, triphasic injection regimen consisting of low-dose pilocarpine administrations (180 mg/kg. i.p.) on days 9, 11, and 15 <i>post partum</i> (pp). The model had a survival rate of >80% and exhibited characteristic spontaneous recurrent electrographic seizures (SRES) in both the hippocampus and cortex that persisted into adulthood. Using implantable video-EEG radiotelemetry, we quantified a complex set of seizure parameters that demonstrated the induction of chronic electroencephalographic seizure activity in our InfRPil-mTLE model, which predominated during the dark cycle. We further analyzed selected candidate genes potentially relevant to epileptogenesis using a RT-qPCR approach. Several candidates, such as the low-voltage-activated Ca²⁺ channel Ca_v3.2 and the auxiliary subunits <i>β</i> ₁ and <i>β</i> ₂, which were previously reported to be upregulated in the hippocampus of the adult pilocarpine mTLE model, were found to be downregulated (together with Ca_v2.1, Ca_v2.3, M₁, and M₃) in the hippocampus and cortex of our InfRPil-mTLE model.

One simple answer to this problem would be to ensure the best rehabilitation with full social reintegration. As such, a plethora of rehabilitation programs was developed and used by healthcare professionals. Among them, modern techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation are being used and seem to bring improvements to poststroke rehabilitation. This success is attributed to their capacity to enhance cellular neuromodulation. This modulation includes the reduction of the inflammatory response, autophagy suppression, antiapoptotic effects, angiogenesis enhancement, alterations in the blood-brain barrier permeability, attenuation of oxidative stress, influence on neurotransmitter metabolism, neurogenesis, and enhanced structural neuroplasticity. The favorable effects have been demonstrated at the cellular level in animal models and are supported by clinical studies. Thus, these methods proved to reduce infarct volumes and to improve motor performance, deglutition, functional independence, and high-order cerebral functions (i.e., aphasia and heminegligence). However, as with every therapeutic method, these techniques can also have limitations. Their regimen of administration, the phase of the stroke at which they are applied, and the patients' characteristics (i.e., genotype and corticospinal integrity) seem to influence the outcome. Thus, no response or even worsening effects were obtained under certain circumstances both in animal stroke model studies and in clinical trials. Overall, weighing up risks and benefits, the new transcranial electrical and magnetic stimulation techniques can represent effective tools with which to improve the patients' recovery after stroke, with minimal to no adverse effects.
