Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a frequently employed artificial sweetener found in numerous food products. Studies have demonstrated that when MSG is administered, it can result in glutamate toxicity and the development of epilepsy in animals. The aim of the study is to examine the effect of orally administering MSG on hippocampal dendrite morphology in Wistar and genetic absence epileptic (GAERS) rats. The rats were divided into four groups: the Wistar control group, orally administered with NaCl (1.0 g/L NaCl) for 1 month (n=5), the GAERS control group, orally administered with NaCl (1.0 g/L
