Mechanisms in the development of limbic status epilepticus and hippocampal neuron loss: an experimental study in a model of status epilepticus induced by kindling-like electrical stimulation of the deep prepyriform cortex in rats.
A new model of status epilepticus (SE), which was induced by intermittent electrical stimulation (20 Hz for 20 sec every min for 180 min) of the deep prepyriform cortex, has been developed in the conscious rat. SE was induced in 9 of 16 rats in the drug-free group. The number of stimulation trains required to induce SE in this status subgroup was 125.6 +/- 12.7 (mean +/- SEM) and the mean durat...
متن کاملAn animal model of nonconvulsive status epilepticus: a contribution to clinical controversies.
PURPOSE To characterize electroencephalographic and behavioral effects as well as electrophysiologic and morphologic consequences of a subconvulsive dose of pilocarpine in lithium chloride-pretreated rats. METHODS Pilocarpine (15 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally to adult rats pretreated with lithium chloride (3 mEq/kg, i.p.). Behavior was observed for 2 h and videotaped in three cons...
متن کاملElectrical Lesion of Substantia Nigra Pars Compacta; An Alternative and Convenient Way to Generate the Animal Model of Parkinson’s Disease
The unilateral or bilateral lesion of the Substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) by chemical neurotoxins such as 6-hydroxy dopamine (6-OHDA) or 1- Methyl-4- phenyl -1,2,3,6 – tetirahydro pyridine (MPTP) are the most commonly and the main used methods for generating the animal models of Parkinson’s disease (PD). But these agents are expensive, dangerous, difficult to use and inacce...
متن کاملNon-convulsive status epilepticus induced by antidepressants
We report on a 27-year-old woman of non-convulsive status epilepticus (NSE) very probably induced by antidepressants. She has no history of febrile convulsions, or epileptic seizures. There are no genetic factors for epilepsy in her family. As she developed depressive illness, she consulted a doctor. Clomipramine 25 mg i.v. drip/day and maprotiline 75 mg/os/day were started. Recently she began ...
متن کاملPhenytoin induced status epilepticus.
T here is a growing body of literature that patients on antiepileptic drugs may experience worsening of seizure control such as increasing frequency, inducing new seizures, refractory seizures, and so forth. 1 Phenytoin is used in all types of seizure except absence seizure and is the most commonly prescribed antiepileptic drug due to its cost and availability. 2 Phenytoin is known for its side...
