This study shows that activating CB2 during epileptogenesis recruits anti-inflammatory monocytes and improves cognitive, affective, and seizure outcomes in a rat model of TLE.

The paper tracks monocyte infiltration and phenotypic changes in a rat epilepsy model, showing they adopt a microglia-like phenotype and sustain low-grade inflammation during chronic epilepsy.

The paper maps CB2 expression in mouse brain and shows its regulation in microglia under different inflammatory conditions.

This study examines respiratory dysfunctions in rodent epilepsy models and links them to changes in the brainstem serotonin system.

The paper compares inflammation levels in the hippocampus of mTLE patients and rat models of epilepsy, finding lower chronic inflammation in patients compared to acute post-SE inflammation in rats.
