Increased excitatory connectivity and epileptiform activity in thrombospondin1/2 knockout mice following cortical trauma

Thrombospondins (TSPs) are astrocyte-secreted extracellular matrix proteins that play key roles as regulators of synaptogenesis in the central nervous system. We previously showed that TSP1/2 are upregulated in the partial neocortical isolation model (“undercut” or “UC” below) of posttraumatic epile...
