Neuronal injury and cytogenesis after simple febrile seizures in the hippocampal dentate gyrus of juvenile rat

Purpose Although simple febrile seizures are frequently described as harmless, there is evidence which suggests that hippocampal damage may occur after simple febrile seizures. This study aimed to investigate possible neuronal damages as well as alterations in cytogenesis in the hippocampal dentate gyrus following simple febrile seizures.
