Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the leading causes of acquired temporal lobe epilepsy. TBI drives hippocampal circuit rearrangements that may contribute to increased seizure risk, such as altered inhibitory circuit function and aberrant post-traumatic neurogenesis. In the hippocampal dentate gyrus, adult-born dentate granule cells (DGCs) acquire inhibitory synaptic inputs from parvalbumin-expressing (PV) interneurons early in their maturation. PV inputs are important for circuit...
