Treatment descriptions and the number of male and female mice present in each animal group. *NestinCreERT2 expressing mice are all hemizygous. ^GFP reporter genotype not shown. Tamoxifen treatments (not shown) were identical in all mice. SE, status epilepticus. DTr, diphtheria toxin receptor. DT, diphtheria toxin.
