摘要: Abstract The functional consequences of neuronal loss during epileptogenesis in the lateral and basal amygdaloid nuclei are poorly understood. present study tested hypothesis that electrical responsiveness varies different chronically epileptic amygdala. Further, we examined region most prone to seizure initiation. Epileptogenesis was triggered 20 rats by inducing status epilepticus (SE) with stimulation nucleus Electrode-implanted non-stimulated served as controls. occurrence duration spontaneous seizures were monitored video-electroencephalography (EEG) at 8–9 weeks after SE. Thereafter, animals killed extracellular recordings made from slices both amygdalas. In animals, frequency responses reduced compared controls ( P ≤0.05).
