Granule cell dispersion

Granule cell dispersion is one of the abnormal structural changes that has been shown in brains of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy. It has also been shown in different animal models, such as the kainic acid model, pilocarpine model, and kindling model. But granule cell dispersion was not found by using perforant pathway stimulation.

Mechanism of formation
There are currently two hypotheses for the mechanism. It might be a consequence of a migration disorder, and the first hypothesis considers an initial injury that release toxin(s) that affect the normal migration of granule cells. The second hypothesis concerns the role of reelin (see below). Reelin role in temporal lobe epilepsy Reelin is required for normal neuronal lamination humans, and the lack of this expression can lead to migration defect associated with temporal lobe epilepsy ==References==
