      Title: "Role of Enriched environment and anti-epileptic drug on epilepsy-induced cognitive deficits"It is about understanding the neurobiology of temporal lobe epilepsy and the effect of therapeutic interventions using an animal model. It involves assessment of behavior (using tasks for anxiety, depression and cognition), electrophysiology (electrical activity from different brain regions) and brain plasticity (neuron density and volume estimation in hippocampus). Both pharmacological… Show more Title: "Role of Enriched environment and anti-epileptic drug on epilepsy-induced cognitive deficits"It is about understanding the neurobiology of temporal lobe epilepsy and the effect of therapeutic interventions using an animal model. It involves assessment of behavior (using tasks for anxiety, depression and cognition), electrophysiology (electrical activity from different brain regions) and brain plasticity (neuron density and volume estimation in hippocampus). Both pharmacological (anti-epileptic drug) and non-pharmacological (environmental enrichment) interventions were evaluated. Show less
