## Abstract Reactive glial cells, for example, from patients with temporal lope epilepsy have a reduced density of inward rectifying K^+^ (Kir) channels and thus a reduced K^+^ buffering capacity. Evidence is accumulating that this downregulation of Kir channels could be implicated in epileptogenes

## Abstract Previous studies have shown that potassiumβinduced longβterm potentiation (LTP) of the Schaffer collateral/commissural synapses in area CA1 of the hippocampus shares common properties with tetanusβinduced LTP. In the present investigation, we performed electrophysiological and binding e
## Abstract The osmolarity of the extracellular space (ECS) compartment is an important factor determining the excitability of neuronal tissue. In the adult hippocampus an important role of osmolarity and ECS diffusion parameters on the susceptibility to epileptic events is well established, but th
