Enhanced synaptic activity and epileptiform events in the embryonic Kcc2 deficient hippocampus

The neuronal potassium-chloride co-transporter Kcc2 is thought to play an important role in the post natal excitatory to inhibitory switch of GABA actions in the rodent hippocampus. Here, by studying hippocampi of wild-type (Kcc2+/+) and Kcc2 deficient (Kcc2-/-) mouse embryos, we unexpectedly found...
