“…There are a few examples in the literature where preconditioning microglia with LPS modulates seizures including our own, and this will be discussed in more detail in the next section (Sayyah et al, 2003, Akarsu et al, 2006, Arican et al, 2006, Dmowska et al, 2010, Mirrione et al, 2010, Yang et al, 2010a. One mechanism that may contribute to the positive effects attributed to LPS preconditioning is through enhanced neurotrophin release (Nakajima et al, 2001a).…”
