Abstract

The murine homeobox-containing Otx gene is required for correct nervous system and sense organ development. Otx1-/1 mice obtained by replacing Otx with the lac Z gene show developmental abnormalities of the cerebellum, mesencephalon, and cerebral cortex associated with spontaneous epileptic seizures (1). The epileptogenic mechanisms accounting for these seizures were investigated by means of electrophysiological recordings made from neocortical slices.
