Abstract
Objective
Changes in extracellular matrix (ECM) and highly condensed ECM structures called perineuronal nets (PNNs) have been reported in human patients with epilepsy as well as some animal models of epilepsy. We studied potential ECM changes in a mouse model of pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus (PISE) and their potential contributions to seizures.
Methods
We used a reduced intensity pilocarpine model to induce status epilepticus (SE) in mice. Wisteria floribunda agglutinin (WFA) staining was used to identify PNNs. Immunohistochemistry, patch-clamp electrophysiology, drug studies, and transcriptomic ...
