Early Life Status Epilepticus and Stress Have Distinct and Sex‐Specific Effects on Learning, Subsequent Seizure Outcomes, Including Anticonvulsant Response to Phenobarbital

Abstract

Neonatal status epilepticus (SE) is often associated with adverse cognitive and epilepsy outcomes. We investigate the effects of three episodes of kainic acid‐induced SE (3KA‐SE) and maternal separation in immature rats on subsequent learning, seizure susceptibility, and consequences, and the anticonvulsant effects of phenobarbital, according to sex, type, and age at early life (EL) event.
