“Ca2+ buffers,” a class of cytosolic Ca2+-binding proteins, act as modulators of short-lived
intracellular Ca2+ signals; they affect both the temporal and spatial aspects of these …

Selenoproteins are rare proteins among all kingdoms of life containing the 21 st amino acid,
selenocysteine. Selenocysteine resembles cysteine, differing only by the substitution of …

For precisely regulating intracellular Ca2+ signals in a time-and space-dependent manner,
cells make use of various components of the “Ca2+ signaling toolkit,” including Ca2+ entry …

Networks of GABAergic interneurons are of utmost importance in generating and promoting
synchronous activity and are involved in producing coherent oscillations. These neurons are …

Secondary epileptogenesis is a common phenomenon in epilepsy, characterized by
epileptiform discharges from the regions outside the primary focus. It is one of the major …

Although it is now established that neurogenesis of dentate gyrus granule cells increases
after experimental seizures, little is currently known about the function of the new granule …

To demonstrate regional activation in the rat cerebral cortex related to stress-evoked
neuroendocrine response, Fos expression in both the cerebral cortex and hypothalamic …

Neuroplasticity refers to functional and structural changes in brain regions in response to
healthy and pathological activity. Activity dependent plasticity induced by epileptic activity …

Distribution and time course of the occurrence of “dark” neurons were compared with the
EEG activity and behavior of rats during 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) induced epileptic seizures …

The seizure-induced molecular and functional alterations of glutamatergic transmission in
the hippocampus have been investigated. Daily repeated epileptic seizures were induced …
