of these circuits may be disrupted in disease, will be critical for developing therapies for neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders involving the amygdala, including anxiety disorders such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, Alzheimer disease, temporal lobe epilepsy, and drug addiction...

Investigation of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy demonstrates glial satellitosis, the accumulation of glia around neurons, in the lateral amygdala (Faber-zuschratteret al., 2009) and interesting glial phenomena have been detailed in the mouse amygdala as well. Kainic acid, an excitotoxin regular...

Both temporal lobe epilepsy and status epilepticus are well established in rodents by systemic or intracerebral administration of high-dose piloparpine, a cholinergic muscarinic agonist [31]. Several brain regions, such as the amygdala, thalamus, olfactory cortex, hippocampus, neocortex, and substantial...
