Publisher: Florida Atlantic University
Description: Structural changes that alter hippocampal functional
circuitry are implicated in learning impairments, mood
disorders and epilepsy. Failure to properly gate neuronal
activity arriving in hippocampus may be critical
in developing synaptic circuits that generate seizures
due to sustained elevations in hippocampal BDNF.
