Three hours following seizures there was an evident expression of c-fos proteins in the hippocampus (CA1 area), dentate gyrus, piriform cortex, dorsal part of entorhinal cortex, and amygdaloid nucleus, and there was a dramatic increase of c-fos proteins in CA3 area and the areas mentioned above except the CA1 area where c-fos proteins apparently decreased after electroacupuncture treatment. The results showed that seizures can induce c-fos proteins in some nuclei related with seizure and that electroacupuncture can also regulates the c-fos expression after seizure UR - http://www.chinaphar.com/article/view/6032
