The intra-amygdala KA mouse model is a refined model for the focalized induction of status epilepticus and reliable stimulation of epileptogenesis (Henshall et al., 2000; Mouri et al., 2008) and, therefore, the study of tau phosphorylation in this model may help to shed further light on tau pathology seen in TLE patients. Here, MAPT is linked to status epilepticus.
