FIG. 5.

Development of Ca²⁺ plateau following DFP-induced SE. CA1 hippocampal [Ca²⁺]_i in control (white bar), sham (gray bar), and DFP immediately after and 1, 2, 7, 14, and 30 days after SE (black bars). [Ca²⁺]_i in sham animals at each time point were not significantly different from the control values shown and thus were omitted from the graph for clarity. [Ca²⁺]_i in neurons isolated from DFP-SE animals was significantly higher than control and sham values (*p < 0.05, one-way ANOVA, post hoc Tukey test, n = minimum of six animals at each time). Data are represented as mean ± SEM.
