“…Interestingly, while extra hEGCs are present in the hilus area at P14, they are no longer detectable at the later time point, P28, which suggests that the hippocampus may, at least temporarily, recover from the prenatal insult. Although the accumulation of hEGCs takes place during a limited developmental window, their presence may still adversely affect hippocampal function and behavioral performance which have been shown to be altered in response to intrauterine inflammation Kelley et al, 2017 ; Makinson et al, 2017 . In particular, as shown in animal models of epilepsy, misplaced granule cells differ from other granule neurons in that they develop excessive excitatory innervation while being almost devoid of inhibitory inputs Pierce et al, 2005 ; Scharfman et al, 2007 ; Scharfman and Pierce, 2012 ; Zhan et al, 2010 .…”
