“…However, studies on whether aberrant hippocampal neurogenesis contribute to epileptogenesis have produced mixed results. Some studies using pharmacological agents (Jung et al, 2004(Jung et al, , 2006Sugaya et al, 2010) or genetic approaches (Cho et al, 2015;Hosford et al, 2016) concluded that inhibiting the newborn granule cells leaded to reduced spontaneous recurrent seizures (SRSs), while others indicated that ablation of newborn granule cells via pharmacological agents (Radley and Jacobs, 2003;Pekcec et al, 2008) or selective hippocampal irradiation (Pekcec et al, 2011) did not alleviate chronic seizures.…”
