The WAG/Rij rat strain is characterized in its EEG by the manifestation of spike-wave discharges which resemble in their spontaneous appearance and pharmacological sensitivity the absence epilepsy observed in humans. In order to test the hypothesis whether cellular intrinsic membrane and/or synaptic
Involvement of nitric oxide (NO) in the regulation of the epileptic activity was studied in WAG/Rij rats, a genetic model of absence epilepsy. I.c.v. administration of NO donors: S-nitroso-Nacetylpenicillamine (SNAP, 0.5 and 5 pg), 3-morpholino-sydnonimine (SIN-1, 0.5 and 5 pg) or sodium nitroprussi
