## Abstract Chronic intrahippocampal infusion of the neurotrophin brainβderived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been shown to delay kindling epileptogenesis in the rat and several lines of evidence suggest that neuropeptide Y could mediate these inhibitory effects. Chronic infusion of BDNF leads to

β¦ Synopsis
Kindling patterns were compared in different regions of the hippocampus of the rat. The duration, morphology, and frequency of the electrical responses were different after stimulation of the dorsal and the ventral hippocampus, but these parameters showed the same evolution as kindling progressed. Comparison of the threshold intensity and of the kindling rate revealed some differences not only between dorsal and ventral hippocampus, but also within the dorsal hippocampus: The central layers had higher thresholds and longer kindling periods than the outer layers and the fimbria hippocampi. We suggest that stimulation of hippocampal efferents is responsible for the greater ease of kindling in the outer layers than in the central regions of this structure. The degree of connection of the different parts of the hippocampus with the arnygdala and the influence of the intrinsic inhibitory GABAergic circuitry are discussed.

Glutamate receptor induced changes in the activity of different phosphorylation systems were measured in hippocampal slices from 12-and 56-day-old rats, by determining the endogenous phosphorylation of 2.5% perchloric acid (PCA) soluble proteins. We identified among these proteins an 85, 80 kDa and

## 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
