  1. ncbi Periventricular nodular heterotopia functionally couples with the overlying hippocampus
    Hiroki Kitaura
    Department of Pathology, Brain Research Institute, University of Niigata, Niigata, Japan
    Epilepsia 53:e127-31. 2012
    ..The coupling response evoked by stimulation of the subiculum and developing within the heterotopic nodule was enhanced by application of bicuculline. Therefore, activities of the hippocampus and the nodule are closely correlated...
  2. ncbi Spatiotemporal dynamics of epileptiform propagations: imaging of human brain slices
    Hiroki Kitaura
    Department of Pathology, Brain Research Institute, University of Niigata, Chuo Ku, Niigata, Japan
    Neuroimage 58:50-9. 2011
    ..These findings indicate that synchronized activities of the early phase may play a key role in spreading abnormal discharges in human cortical epilepsies...
  3. ncbi Hypertrophy of hippocampal end folium neurons in patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy
    Masae Ryufuku
    Department of Pathology, University of Niigata, Japan
    Neuropathology 31:476-85. 2011
    ..Neuronal hypertrophy is evident in patients with epilepsy, and appears to advance gradually as the hippocampal sclerosis becomes more severe. This alteration may be a consequence of cellular stress incurred by neurons...
