Schematic detailing the experimental design. At 12 weeks of age, animals received pilocarpine to induce SE (group 5). Control animals received saline (group 6). Three weeks after treatment, animals received injections of BrdU to label granule cells. Five weeks later, animals were killed, and BrdU-labeled, GFP-expressing granule cells from epileptic and control animals were analyzed. DGC, Dentate granule cell.
