Rat strain differences in seizure frequency and hilar neuron loss after systemic treatment with pilocarpine
At least 3 months after systemic treatment with pilocarpine to induce status epilepticus, Long-Evans and Sprague-Dawley rats were video-EEG monitored for seizures continuously for 1 month. Rats were then perfused, hippocampi were processed for Nissl staining, and hilar neurons were quantified. Seizure frequency in Long-Evans rats was 1/10th of that in Sprague-Dawley rats, and more variable. Hilar neuron loss was also less severe in Long-Evans rats. However, there was no correlation between hilar neuron loss and seizure frequency in either strain. The low and variable seizure frequency suggests limited usefulness of pilocarpine-treated Long-Evans rats for some epilepsy experiments.
期刊介绍:
Epilepsy Research provides for publication of high quality articles in both basic and clinical epilepsy research, with a special emphasis on translational research that ultimately relates to epilepsy as a human condition. The journal is intended to provide a forum for reporting the best and most rigorous epilepsy research from all disciplines ranging from biophysics and molecular biology to epidemiological and psychosocial research. As such the journal will publish original papers relevant to epilepsy from any scientific discipline and also studies of a multidisciplinary nature. Clinical and experimental research papers adopting fresh conceptual approaches to the study of epilepsy and its treatment are encouraged. The overriding criteria for publication are novelty, significant clinical or experimental relevance, and interest to a multidisciplinary audience in the broad arena of epilepsy. Review articles focused on any topic of epilepsy research will also be considered, but only if they present an exceptionally clear synthesis of current knowledge and future directions of a research area, based on a critical assessment of the available data or on hypotheses that are likely to stimulate more critical thinking and further advances in an area of epilepsy research.
