Rapamycin prevents acute dendritic injury following seizures
2016
Objective
Seizures cause acute structural changes in dendrites, which may contribute to cognitive deficits that occur in epilepsy patients. Disruption of the actin cytoskeleton of dendrites likely mediates the structural changes following seizures, but the upstream signaling mechanisms activated by synchronized physiological activity to cause seizure‐induced dendritic injury are not known. In this study, we test the hypothesis that the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) pathway triggers structural changes in dendrites in response to seizures.
