Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative study of the response to genetic selection of the Wistar audiogenic rat strain (WAR).
M.C. Doretto,C G Fonseca,R B Lôbo,Vera C. Terra,José Antônio Cortes de Oliveira,N. Garcia-Cairasco +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that genetic selection has a positive impact on the traits analyzed and the Wistar audiogenic rat (WAR) strain appears, as per the 17th to 20th generations of genetic selection to be an audiogenicRat strain suitable for epilepsy studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ricardo Guarnieri,Roger Walz,Jaime Eduardo Cecílio Hallak,Érica R. Coimbra,Edna de Almeida,Maria P. Cescato,Tonicarlo Rodrigues Velasco,Veriano Alexandre,Vera C. Terra,Carlos Gilberto Carlotti,João Alberto Assirati,Américo Ceiki Sakamoto +11 more
TL;DR: The findings emphasize the importance of presurgical psychiatric evaluation, counseling, and postsurgical follow-up of patients with epilepsy and psychiatric disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Midbrain substrates of audiogenic seizures in rats
TL;DR: The behavioral manifestations of acute and chronic AS are reviewed, the contribution to the knowledge of some AS neurobiological midbrain substrates and the suggested implications of midbrain-forebrain interactions typical of AS kindling are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
New insights into behavioral evaluation of audiogenic seizures. A comparison of two ethological methods.
N. Garcia-Cairasco,M.C. Doretto,R.P. Prado,B.P.D. Jorge,Vera C. Terra,José Antônio Cortes de Oliveira +5 more
TL;DR: Rats may be the micro-behavioral substrate for correlation with contemporary molecular analysis of epileptic seizures and allow comparisons of behavioral sequences in a given experimental situation such as susceptible against resistant animals, acute and chronic seizures, comparison of pre- and postdrug effects, etc.
