Physiological Changes in Chronic Epileptic Rats Are Prominent in Superficial Layers of the Medial Entorhinal Area

Summary:  Purpose: We investigated whether the functional network properties of the medial entorhinal area (MEA) of the entorhinal cortex were altered in a rat model of chronic epilepsy that is characterized by extensive cell loss in MEA layer III.
