Journal ArticleDOI
Polyunsaturated fatty acids modulate sodium and calcium currents in CA1 neurons
TL;DR: The combined effects of the PUFAs on INa and ICa may reduce neuronal excitability and may exert anticonvulsive effects in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anticonvulsant effect of polyunsaturated fatty acids in rats, using the cortical stimulation model
TL;DR: An infusion of 40 micromol of eicosapentaenoic acid or docosahexaenoic Acid over a period of 30 min, modestly increased the threshold for localized seizure activity after 6 h by 73 +/- 13 microA, and the thresholds for generalized seizure activity by 125 +/- 20 and 130 +/- 19MicroA, respectively (P < 0.001).
Journal Article
Pharmacokinetic-Pharmacodynamic Modeling of the Anticonvulsant and Electroencephalogram Effects of Phenytoin in Rats
TL;DR: An exponential equation derived from the sigmoid Emax model was applied to describe the concentration-anticonvulsant effect relationship, under the assumption that Emax values cannot be reached within acceptable electric stimulation levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seizure patterns in kindling and cortical stimulation models of experimental epilepsy
TL;DR: The evaluation of the ictal and post-ictal behavioural components suggests that behavioural analysis could assist in the detection of differences in the mechanisms of action of anticonvulsant drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Excitability increase of neurons in olfactory cortex slices of the guinea pig after penicillin administration
TL;DR: The mechanism underlying the effects of penicillin on slices of the olfactory cortex of the guinea pig was examined and it was found that the changes in population responses paralleled to a large extent changes in cell discharge.
