Computer model of antiepileptic effects mediated by alterations in GABA(A)-mediated inhibition.

abstract：:Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) may contribute to tissue damage after cerebral ischemia. In this study, wildtype and MMP-2 knockout mice were subjected to permanent and transient (2 h) occlusions of the middle cerebral artery. Gelatin zymography showed that MMP-9 levels were increased in all brains after ischemia. MM...
