Maladaptive myelination may be related to the increasing frequency of absence seizures. To explore this connection, we performed MRI microstructural measurements in ex vivo mouse brains from the Scn8amed+/- model of absence epilepsy in two cohorts of mice at two points of their development, both before and after seizures were well established. Our MRI g-ratio results strongly agree with our previous findings based on electron microscopy and show a clear alteration of myelination throughout the anterior portion of the corpus callosum.
