We studied the distribution of a NMDA subtype receptor in CA1 area of the hippocampus. Materials and Methods: Expression of NMDA subreceptor R2, the predominant excitatory neurotransmitter receptor in the brain, was investigated in rats suffering from absence-like seizures. Results: Rats with absence-like seizures exhibited decreased number of these NMDA subreceptors in the hippocampal formation. Conclusion: Changes of expression of these receptors in the hippocampus may be involved in cognition deficits in absence epilepsy. }, URL = {http://shefayekhatam.ir/article-1-37-en.html}, eprint = {http://shefayekhatam.ir/article-1-37-en.pdf}, journal = {The Neuroscience Journal of Shefaye Khatam}, doi = {10.18869/acadpub.shefa.1.2.45}, year = {2013} }
