Martinotti cell deficiency in Epilepsy[edit]

"A characteristic feature of epilepsy is the hyperactivation of cortical pyramid cells, which is exactly what this mechanism inhibits. It is possible that epilepsy is related to a deficit of Martinotti cells or a deficiency of Martinotti activity in the brain." [1] Brian Pearson 22:04, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
