Abstract

Trimethyltin produces localized neuronal damage in the rat hippocampus, amygdala and pyriform cortex when given systemically. In the present study the behavioural, electroencephalographic and auditory evoked responses of conscious rats were followed over an 11 day period after oral administration of trimethyltin. An early increase in hippocampal and, to a lesser extent, neocortical evoked response was seen, this preceding the behavioural symptoms. Development of symptoms (hyperactivity, tremor and fear) was accompanied by an increase in the incidence of theta rhythm in the electroencephalogram (EEG). Finally a fall in hippocampal evoked response and theta incidence was seen. It is suggested that a phase of neuronal excitability precedes neuronal damage, and that this is more pronounced in the hippocampus than in areas not developing subsequent neuronal loss.

Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1␤) has been proposed as a mediator of several forms of brain damage, including that induced by excitotoxins. In vitro studies suggest that glial cells are the effector cells of IL-1␤-mediated neurodegeneration. We have investigated the expression of IL-1␤ protein by glial cel

While it is well documented that the overactivation of ionotropic glutamate receptors leads to seizures and excitotoxic injury, little is known about the role of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) in epileptogenesis and neuronal injury. Intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) infusion of the group I
