Strong neuronal activation by pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus caused an increase in all hippocampal dendritic laminae of BDNF transcripts encoding exons 2, 4, and 6 and also of BDNF exons 3 and 9a in DG molecular layer, whereas the other transcripts were restricted to the soma (Baj et al., 2013). Here, BDNF is linked to status epilepticus.
