mRNA for the EAAC1 subtype of glutamate transporter is present in neuronal dendrites in vitro and dramatically increases in vivo after a seizure

▶ EAAC1 mRNA is observed in hippocampal neuronal dendrites in vitro. ▶ EAAC1 mRNA is observed in dendrites in vivo. ▶ Pilocarpine-induced seizures increase dendritic localization of EAAC1 mRNA. ▶ Kainate-induced seizures increase in dendritic localization of EAAC1 mRNA.
