Initiation, propagation, and termination of epileptiform activity in rodent neocortex in vitro involve distinct mechanisms.
Waves of epileptiform activity in neocortex have three phenomenological stages: initiation, propagation, and termination. We use a well studied model of epileptiform activity in vitro to investigate directly the hypothesis that each stage is governed by an independent mechanism within the underlying cortical circuit. Using the partially disinhibited neocortical slice preparation, activity is in...
متن کاملNorthward Propagation, Initiation, and Termination of Boreal Summer
A simple multilayer-zonally symmetric model, using a multicloud convective parameterization and coupled to a dynamical bulk atmospheric boundary layer, is used here to simulate boreal summer intra-seasonal oscillations (BSISO) in the summer monsoon trough and elucidate the underlying main physical mechanisms responsible for their initiation, propagation, and termination. Northward-moving precip...
متن کاملModeling the onset and propagation of epileptiform activity in children
In epilepsy of childhood, diagnosis of a focal origin is crucial for therapeutical decisions. As a noninvasive method, MEG may supplement the information obtained during EEG video monitoring. Since MEG provides a higher sensitivity for interictal events, the task of source modeling is manifold: a) localize potential irritative onset zones in MEG; b) localize interictal onset and propagation in ...
متن کاملInitiation of spontaneous epileptiform activity in the neocortical slice.
Cortical local circuitry is important in epileptogenesis. Voltage-sensitive dyes and fast imaging were used to visualize the initiation of spontaneous paroxysmal events in adult rat neocortical slices. Although spontaneous paroxysmal events could start from anywhere in the preparation, optical imaging revealed that all spontaneous events started at a few confined initiation foci and propagated ...
متن کاملEnhanced propagation of epileptiform activity through the kindled dentate gyrus.
Extracellular recordings were performed in combined hippocampal-entorhinal cortex (HC-EC) slices obtained from control and commissural kindled rats to investigate the propagation of epileptiform activity from the entorhinal cortex (EC) to the hippocampus (HC) after chronic epilepsy. Lowering extracellular Mg2+ concentration in control slices induced epileptiform activity consisting of spontaneo...
