Epilepsy is a prevalent neurological disorder affecting more than 1 % of all people, with the estimated number of 900,000 children and adolescents suffering from active epilepsy in Europe. Most current drugs targeting this disease have important adverse side-effects. An ideal drug would, however, potentiate the endogenous anti-seizure mechanisms that keep most humans epilepsy-free.To date, these n ...

Association between neural representations of stimuli is believed to be an elementary mechanism for learning. However, the ability to prevent inappropriate associations by separating stimuli into coherent subgroups is no less important. Environment exploration triggers immediate-early gene (IEG) expression in environment-specific hippocampal ensembles, suggesting that distinct contexts are represe ...
