| Abstract | Entorhinal cortex is a highly epilepsy-prone brain region. Effects of repetitive seizures on ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) were investigated in rat entorhinal cortex slices. Seizures were induced by daily administration of 4-aminopyridine (4-AP). Electrophysiological, pharmacological and histological investigations were carried out to determine changes in synaptic efficacy and in sensitivity of iGluRs due to recurring seizures. Repeated 4-AP-induced seizures increased the amplitude of evoked synaptic field responses in rat entorhinal cortical slices. While vulnerability to inhibition of AMPA receptors by the specific antagonist GYKI 52466 was slightly reduced, responsiveness to NMDA receptor antagonist APV remained unaffected. Testing of bivalent cation permeability of iGluRs revealed reduced Ca$^{2+}$-influx through non-NMDA receptors. According to the semi-quantitative histoblot analysis GluA1–4, GluA1, GluA2, GluK5, GluN1 and GluN2A subunit protein expression differently altered. While there was a marked decrease in the level of GluA1–4, GluA2 and GluK5 receptor subunits, GluA1 and GluN2A protein levels moderately increased. The results indicate that brief convulsions, repeated daily for 10 days can increase overall entorhinal cortex excitability despite a reduction in AMPA/kainate receptor activity, probably through the alteration of local network susceptibility. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
