摘要: Childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) is an syndrome with seizures occurring in the early childhood, highlighting that susceptibility CAE dependent on brain development. The Notch 1 signalling pathway important development, yet role of Notch1 remains elusive. We here explored and its modulator notchless homologue (NLE1) expression WAG/Rij control rats using immunohistochemistry. Functional effects were assessed vivo. lack developmental increase cortical NLE mRNA seen controls, NLE1 protein lower somatosensory cortices when compared to controls. This coincided overall decreased GFAP development rats. These region-specific as they not observed thalamic tissues.
