Status epilepticus (SE) is a common insult that may lead
to development of temporal lobe epilepsy characterized
by hippocampal neurodegeneration, which is associated
with psychological and cognitive dysfunctions. The
present work investigated SE-induced neurodegeneration
and behavioral dysfunction as well as possible
neuroprotective treatment in rat by long term MRI
follow-up study combined with a behavioral test battery.
The results showed that SE-induced neurodegeneration is
a long lasting process associated with behavioral
changes that can be reduced by add-on treatment with
phenobarbital.
