Abstract:ObjectivesGrowing evidence demonstrates a relationship between epilepsy and the circadian system. However, relatively little is known about circadian function in disease states, such as epilepsy. This study aimed to characterize brain and peripheral core circadian clock gene expression in rat models of genetic and acquired epilepsy.MethodsFor the Genetic Absence Epilepsy Rats from Strasbourg (GAERS) study we used 40 GAERS and 40 non‐epileptic control (NEC) rats. For the kainic acid status epilepticus (KASE) st… Show more
