## Abstract The hippocampus is a major structure of interest affected by temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Region of interest (ROI)βbased analysis has traditionally been used to study hippocampal involvement in TLE, although spatial variation of structural and functional pathology have been known to ex

The fact that medial temporal lobe structures, including the hippocampus, are critical for declarative memory is firmly established by now. The understanding of the role that these structures play in declarative memory, however, despite great efforts spent in the quest, has eluded investigators so f
## Abstract Altered excitatory amino acid (EAA) neurotransmission, mediated primarily by glutamate, is a major cause of the imbalance of excitation and inhibition which characterizes both early development and epileptogenesis. Glutamate's actions are mediated by three classes of receptors: NMDA, no
Involvement of nitric oxide (NO) in the regulation of the epileptic activity was studied in WAG/Rij rats, a genetic model of absence epilepsy. I.c.v. administration of NO donors: S-nitroso-Nacetylpenicillamine (SNAP, 0.5 and 5 pg), 3-morpholino-sydnonimine (SIN-1, 0.5 and 5 pg) or sodium nitroprussi
