Extracellular field potential recordings were used to study the effects of the antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) carbamazepine (CBZ), phenytoin (PHT), phenobarbital (PhB) and valproic acid (VPA) on the epileptiform activity evoked by 4-aminopyridine (4-AP, 50 microM) in the CA3 subfield of rat hippocampal

It is believed that calcium ions have very important role in the formation of epilepsy. Calcium ion flux into the cell leads to secretion of excitatory neurotransmitters. During epileptic seizures, routine balance of excitation and inhibition is altered towards the excitation. In present study, the
Pilocarpine (PILO) induces in rats limbic seizures that become secondarily generalized and evolve to status epilepticus (SE). Spontaneous recurrent seizures are registered during the long-term period following the systemic administration of PILO in rats. EEG, behavioral, and pathological features re
