The hippocampal formation, including the entorhinal cortex, the dentate gyrus, the cornu ammonis and the subiculum, plays a major role in the generation of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Some forms of TLE are pharmacoresistant when treated with presently marketed drugs. These drugs have been found to

## Abstract The hippocampus is one of several limbic brain structures implicated in the pathophysiology and treatment of mood disorders. Preclinical and clinical studies demonstrate that stress and depression lead to reductions of the total volume of this structure and atrophy and loss of neurons i
## Abstract Asphyxia during delivery produces longβterm deficits in brain development, including hippocampus. We investigated hippocampal plasticity after perinatal asphyxia, measuring postnatal apoptosis and neurogenesis. Asphyxia was performed by immersing rat fetuses with uterine horns removed f
## Abstract Recent evidence shows that functional neurogenesis exists in the adult hippocampus and that epileptic seizures can increase neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus (DG). However, it is unknown whether different seizure severity has different effects on neurogenesis in the DG of adult rats. In
