Interleukin-1β Immunoreactivity and Microglia Are Enhanced in the Rat Hippocampus by Focal Kainate Application: Functional Evidence for Enhancement of Electrographic Seizures

TL;DR: Exogenous application of IL-1β prolongs kainate-induced hippocampal EEG seizures by enhancing glutamatergic neurotransmission and thus, convulsant and/or excitotoxic stimuli increase the production of interleukin (IL)-1β in microglia-like cells in the hippocampus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammatory cytokines and related genes are induced in the rat hippocampus by limbic status epilepticus

TL;DR: The induction of spontaneously recurring seizures in rats involves the activation of inflammatory cytokines and related pro‐ and anti‐inflammatory genes in the hippocampus and these changes may play an active role in hyperexcitability of the epileptic tissue.
