In this study, we investigated the gene expression of proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β (Il1b) and IL-6 (Il6), and anti-inflammatory fractalkine (Cx3cl1) in the hippocampus, entorhinal cortex, and neocortex of rats at different time points after lithium-pilocarpine status epilepticus (SE). The gene discussed is IL6; the disease is status epilepticus.
