Abstract

Objective: In this study, it was aimed to evaluate cognitive and behavioral changes after status epilepticus (SE) induced by pentylenetetrazole in immature rats via Morris water maze and open-field area tests and to assess alterations in expression of 84 key genes involved in synaptic plasticity after SE.
