Abbreviations: Inline graphic = increased relative to control; Inline graphic = decreased; — = no change; PTZ = pentylenetetrazol; elec. = electrical kindling of the Schaffer collaterals in the hippocampus; ECS = electroconvulsive shock; SSLSE = self-sustaining limbic status epilepticus; TLE = human temporal lobe epileptic specimens. Other methods used to examined changes were often different. Latencies after seizures also differed across studies, making exact comparisons difficult. (Flip) or (flop) refer to flip or flop splice variants of the particular GluR subunit in question. Data from three pilocarpine studies are shown, one that examined only early times (within a few days) after status and others that examined early or late (weeks or months after status) times after status. “(2/3)” or “(2/4)” refers to data using a label that did not discriminate well between subunits 2 and 3 or 2 and 4; note that the 2/4 data are primarily from the molecular layer, not the granule cell layer.
