Altered Hippocampal Kainate-Receptor mRNA Levels in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Patients

Altered Hippocampal Kainate-Receptor mRNA Levels in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Patients

This study determined whether hippocampal kainate (KA) receptor mRNA levels were increased or decreased in temporal lobe epilepsy patients compared with nonseizure autopsies. Hippocampal sclerosis (HS;n= 17), nonsclerosis (non-HS;n= 11), and autopsy hippocampi (n= 9) were studied for KA1–2 and GluR5...
