Imaging the developing epileptic brain.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Posttraumatic epilepsy (PTE) accounts for 20% of acquired epilepsies. Experimental models are important for studying epileptogenesis. We previously reported that repetitive high-frequency oscillations with spikes (rHFOSs) occur early after lateral fluid percussion injury (FPI) and may be a biomarker for PTE. ...

Therefore, we analyzed whether tonic and phasic GABAergic transmissio...
