Fig. 2. Neuronal cell death after induction of status epilepticus (SE) in kainic acid (KA) model. Sections were stained for Fluoro-Jade B (FJB) to evaluate neuronal cell death (A) in several brain regions (B). The KA treatment induced a significant increase, compared to control group (CTRL) of 8 weeks of age, in FJB staining in the CA3 stratum pyramidalis (CA3 Py, subregion B), hilus of the dentate gyrus (DH) and subiculum (Sub) (C), as well as in layer III of the medial entorhinal cortex (MEnt L.III), nucleus reuniens (Re) and anterior olfactory nucleus (AOP) (D). Quantification was performed using ImageJ. Data are shown as mean ± SEM. Scale bar: 100 μm. WK, week.
