Seizure-induced hippocampal neuronal loss is not prevented by clioquinol.

<p>Live neurons after seizure were detected by NeuN staining in the hippocampal CA1, CA3 and hilus regions at 1 week after insult. Light microscopic images show decreased NeuN (+) neurons in the CA1, CA3 and hilus area at 1 week after seizure. Intraperitoneal injection of CQ provided no protective effects on hippocampal neuronal death. Scale bar = 250 µm. (B) Bar graph shows that the number of NeuN (+) neurons is not statistically different between vehicle and CQ treated rats. Data are means ± SE, n = 6 from each group. *P<0.05.
