Intra- and extracellular recordings were obtained from the CA1 region of guinea pig hippocampal slices maintained in vitro. We studied the effect of reducing the extracellular sodium concentration on penicillin-induced epileptiform responses. In control experiments, Tris and choline were assayed as

The hippocampus is one of the most seizure-prone regions of the central nervous system. Indeed, even in hippocampal slices, epileptiform activity can be easily induced by pharmacological blockade of GABAA receptors. The resulting activity consists of one or more synchronized population bursts that a
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
