Intracellular activity of cortical and thalamic neurones during high-voltage rhythmic spike discharge in Long-Evans rats in vivo.
Spontaneous high-voltage rhythmic spike (HVRS) discharges at 6-12 Hz have been widely described in the electrocorticogram (EcoG) of Long-Evans rats. These ECoG oscillations have been proposed to reflect a state of attentive immobility allowing the optimization of sensory integration within the corticothalamic pathway. This hypothesis has been challenged by recent studies emphasizing similaritie...
متن کاملCortico-thalamic feedback: a key to explain absence seizures
Over the last years, decisive experimental data have been obtained concerning the biophysical mechanisms and ion channels properties important for seizure generation. Computational models have succeeded in proposing plausible mechanisms to explain the sudden emergence of hypersynchronized oscillations at ∼3 Hz (or 5-10 Hz in some species), which are associated with “spike-andwave” complexes in ...
متن کاملCellular-synaptic generation of sleep spindles, spike-and-wave discharges, and evoked thalamocortical responses in the neocortex of the rat.
Thalamocortical neuronal oscillations underlie various field potentials that are expressed in the neocortex, including sleep spindles and high voltage spike-and-wave patterns (HVSs). The mechanism of extracellular current generation in the neocortex was studied in the anesthetized and awake rat. Field potentials and unit activity were recorded simultaneously along trajectories perpendicular to ...
متن کاملEvolving concepts on the pathophysiology of absence seizures: the cortical focus theory.
Four main theories on the pathophysiology of generalized absence seizures have been proposed. The "centrencephalic" theory, proposed in 1954, suggested that discharges originate from a deep-seated diffusely projecting subcortical pacemaker in the midline thalamus. This concept was refined in 1991 with the "thalamic clock" theory, implying that the reticular thalamic nucleus contains the pacemak...
متن کاملSHORT COMMUNICATION Can GABAA conductances explain the fast oscillation frequency of absence seizures in rodents?
Rodent models of absence epilepsy generate spike-and-wave oscillations at relatively fast frequency (5±10 Hz) compared with humans (» 3 Hz). Possible mechanisms for these oscillations were investigated by computational models that included the complex intrinsic ®ring properties of thalamic and cortical neurons, as well as the multiple types of synaptic receptors mediating their interactions. Th...
