Effect of Deep Brain Stimulation in The Ventral Tegmental Area on Neuronal Activity in Local and Remote Brain Regions in Kindled Mice [PDF]
Objective: The mechanisms behind seizure suppression by deep brain stimulation (DBS) are not fully revealed, andthe most optimal stimulus regimens and anatomical targets are yet to be determined. We investigated the modulatoryeffect of low-frequency DBS (

Acute and Sub-chronic Anticonvulsant Effects of Edaravone on Seizure Induced by Pentylenetetrazole or Electroshock in Mice, Nitric Oxide Involvement [PDF]
Background: Edaravone is an anti-stroke medication that may have nitric oxide (NO) modulating properties. This study evaluated the role of NO in the acute and sub-chronic anticonvulsant effects of edaravone in murine models of seizures induced by ...
