  • Seizures increase cell proliferation in the dentate gyrus by shortening progenitor cell-cycle length.

    Varodayan FP, Zhu XJ, Cui XN, Porter BE. Epilepsia. 2009; 50 (12): 2638-47

    A prolonged seizure, status epileptics (SE), is a potent stimulus for increased neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus. Molecular mechanisms that regulate normal and pathologic cell birth in the dentate gyrus are poorly understood.
