Abstract
Using the model of gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB)-induced generalized absence epilepsy, the present work investigated the distribution of fos oncoprotein expression in the rat thalamus with fos antibody immunohistochemistry. Thirty minutes after absence-like seizures, some fos-immunoreactive cell nuclei were found in bilateral thalamic paraventricular nuclei (PV). After a further 30 min, a massive bilateral induction of fos was observed in the lateral habenular nucleus (LHb), the PV, the rhomboid thalamic nucleus, and the intralaminar nuclei of the thalamus. These results suggest that the LHb and the midline and intralaminar thalamic nuclei may very likely be involved in the pathophysiology of absence seizures.
