Changes associated with epileptogenesis and seizures occur simultaneously with and may disrupt normal activity dependent developmental processes in the brain including synaptic pruning, dendritic and axonal refinement and receptor and ion channel maturations. These effects may occur independently of or in addition to genetic disruptions of synaptic plasticity that can have effects beginning very early in development and continue through later life.
