From the knowledge provided by different animal models, it’s introduced to the physiopathology of this type of epilepsy recognizing the participation of two systems of neurotransmition: the gabaergic and glutamatergic. It is known that an excess of glutamate has as a consequence neuronal death, this is the excitotoxicity. It’s enumerated different reports that, although they sometimes proved contradictory results, the majority find neuronal death in areas of the limbic system after a status epilepticus in experimental animals. Finally, since the brain is not immutable to this death, the principal concepts of the neuroplasticidad are review, providing reports that demonstrate that plastic processes happen in epileptic brains, both in the hippocampus and in the amygdala. El presente trabajo de revisión, está orientado y pretende introducir al lector a los conceptos básicos de la epilepsia, especialmente la epilepsia del lóbulo temporal. Partiendo del conocimiento provisto por diferentes modelos animales, se introduce la fisiopatología de este tipo de epilepsia reconociendo la participación de dos sistemas de neurotransmisión: el gabaérgico y glutamatérgico. Es conocido que el exceso de glutamato tiene como consecuencia la muerte neuronal: la excitotoxicidad. Se enumeran diferentes investigaciones que, a pesar de mostrar, a veces resultados contradictorios, la mayoría de ellas encuentran muerte neuronal en áreas del sistema límbico luego de un estado epiléptico en animales de experimentación. Finalmente, como el cerebro no es inmutable a esta muerte, se revisan los principales conceptos de neuroplasticidad, seleccionando investigaciones que demuestran los procesos plásticos que ocurren en cerebros epilépticos, tanto en el hipocampo como en la amígdala.
