The experiments are broadly based in electrophysiology, anatomy and behaviour. The electrophysiological work is often accomplished in whole animals and makes extensive use of the kindling model of epilepsy. Additional electrophysiological studies are conducted using in vitro slice preparations of various temporal areas. Most particularly the work concentrates on the perirhinal cortex and its relationships both anatomically and functional with other limbic structures, most notably the piriform and entorhinal cortices, the amygdala and hippocampus. In this work, the perirhinal cortex is showing itself to be important in both convulsive seizure development and several forms of learning. Research is supported by the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada and the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR).<\/p>\n<div class=\"slideme\"><dl class=\"slideme__list\"><dt class=\"slideme__term\"><a href=\"#slideme-publications\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"slideme-publications\" class=\"slideme__heading slideme__trigger\">Publications<\/a><\/dt><dd class=\"slideme__description\" id=\"slideme-publications\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Runke D, McIntyre DC, St-Onge V, Gilby KL (2011) Relation between startle reactivity and sucrose avidity in two rat strains bred for differential seizure susceptibility.\u00a0Experimental Neurology\u00a0(in press)<\/li>\n<li>McIntyre DC and Gilby KL (2011) Comorbid features associated with seizure-proneness or \u2013resistance based on amygdale kindling.Epilepsia.
