摘要: The effects of GABAergic agents on non-convulsive epilepsy were studied by intracerebroventricular injections muscimol and bicuculline in WAG/Rij rats. rat strain is recognized as an animal model for human absence epilepsy. EEG registrations behavioural observations showed that dose-dependently increased the Besides this, it induced spikes body twitches. Bicuculline twitches well but decreased All can be blocked vice versa, which suggests observed are genuine GABAA effects. These results implicate caused a hyperfunction.
