✦ Synopsis

Status epilepticus was induced in rats by sequential injections of lithium and pilocarpine. Seizure activity was aborted by a combination of MK-801 and diazepam, with status duration ranging from 3 to 180 min. When the hearts were examined 8-12 days later, rats that had experienced an episode of status epilepticus had significantly heavier hearts than did controls. The nature of the cardiac tissue changes was not examined, and deserves further study.

The usefulness of ACTH in the treatment of childhood epilepsy is assessed by improvement in the EEG and in the clinical condition. However, pronounced side effects, even serious ones, must be encountered. The most common complications are Cushing syndrome, infections, and arterial hypertension. We r

Using focal brain stimulation (kindling), discrete seizures can be triggered from many neuroanatomic sites with varying degrees of facility. From several of these sites, protracted seizures or status epilepticus (SE) also can be triggered. To date, no comparison has been made between different brain

## Abstract It has been suggested that kainic acid enhances opioid peptide release. However, no direct evidence exists to support this hypothesis. The main aim of the present study was to determine whether such release occurs in the hippocampus of the rat after status epilepticus induced by kainic
