Augmented seizure susceptibility and hippocampal epileptogenesis in a translational mouse model of febrile status epilepticus.

eFSE promotes pro-epileptogenic network changes in a majority of C57BL/6J male mice and frank "temporal lobe-like" epilepsy in one sixth of the cohort. Mouse eFSE may thus provide a useful tool for investigating molecular, cellular, and circuit changes during the development of temporal lobe epilepsy and its comorbidities.
