An abnormal increase in the extracellular glutamate is thought to play a crucial role in the initiation, spread, and maintenance of seizure activity.In normal conditions, the majority of this excess glutamate is cleared via glial glutamate transporters (EAAT-1 and EAAT-2). We aimed to examine the immunohistochemical expression of these transporters in the dysplastic tissues of patients with focal cortical dysplasia (FCD).
