Research project funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke to study seizure causes in temporal lobe epilepsy through various neurological methods.
Description
The project focuses on understanding the causes of seizures in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy, specifically investigating reelin-positive interneurons in the dentate gyrus. Methods include telemetric video-EEG seizure monitoring, immunocytochemistry, stereology, whole cell recording, biocytin labeling, and brain infusion using mini-osmotic pumps.
