Epilepsy-based changes in hippocampal excitability: causes and effects.
نویسندگان
چکیده
There are two main types of animal models of TLE, kindling and status epilepticus (SE). In the kindling model (3), spaced and repeated stimulations of the brain evoke afterdischarges (ADs) that increase progressively in duration and in the severity of clinical/ behavioral symptoms. Kindling allows good control of the timing of ADs, but a relatively large number of kindled ADs ( 200) is required for SRS, irrespective of

Effect of eugenol on lithium-pilocarpine model of epilepsy: behavioral, histological, and molecular changes
Objective(s): Epilepsy establishment gives rise to biochemical and morphological changes in the hippocampus. Oxidative stress, morphological changes, and mossy fiber sprouting (MFS) in the hippocampus underpin the epilepsy establishment. Eugenol is the main component of the essential oil extracted from cloves with the potential to modulate neuronal excitability. Therefore, we investigated the e...
متن کاملUnilateral Hypothalamus Inactivation Prevents PTZ Kindling Development through Hippocampal Orexin Receptor 1 Modulation
Introduction: Epilepsy is a neural disorder in which abnormal plastic changes during short and long term periods lead to increased excitability of brain tissue. Kindling is an animal model of epileptogenesis which results in changes of synaptic plasticity due to repetitive electrical or chemical sub-convulsive stimulations of the brain. Lateral hypothalamus, as the main niche of orexin neurons ...
متن کاملAntibiotic Supplements Affect Electrophysiological Properties and Excitability of Rat Hippocampal Pyramidal Neurons in Primary Culture
Introduction: Antibiotic supplements are regularly used in neuronal culture media to control contamination however, they can interfere with the neuronal excitability and affect electrophysiological properties. Therefore, in this study, the effect of penicillin/streptomycin supplements on the spontaneous electrophysiological activity of hippocampal pyramidal neurons was examined. Methods: Electr...
متن کاملElectrophysiological study of amygdale-induced changes in the excitability of CA1 hippocampal pyramidal neurons in male adult rats
Introduction: Many studies have shown that amygdala kindling produces synaptic potentiation by induction of changes in the neuronal electrophysiological properties and inward currents both in epileptic focus and in the areas which are in connection with the epileptic focus and have important role in seizure development and progression such as hippocampal CA1 region. However, cellular mechani...
متن کاملIndividualizing therapies with responsive epilepsy neurostimulation — A mirtazapine case study of hippocampal excitability
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate mirtazapine-induced changes in responsive neurostimulator (RNS) recordings in a patient with epilepsy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cortical detection/stimulation counts from an RNS implanted in a patient with bitemporal epilepsy were matched to mirtazapine use to see if that drug altered hippocampal excitability. RESULTS Mirtazapine decreased hippocampal...
