Photic stimulation inhibits growth hormone secretion in rats: A hypothalamic mechanism for transient entrainment [PDF]
It is well established that photic cues are used by the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) to entrain circadian rhythms to the light/dark cycle, but the role of photic stimuli in the regulation of ultradian neuroendocrine rhythms is ill defined.

Frequency of intermittent photic stimulation: Effect on photic afterdischarges, photic driving, and behavioral activity [PDF]
The effects of various frequencies of intermittent photic stimulation (1/7, 1/3.5, 1/1, 3/1, 6/1, 9/1, 15/1, 18/1, 24/1, and 60/1 sec) on photically evoked afterdischarges (PhADs), photic driving (PD), and behavioral activity (gridcrossings) were examined in rats.

Response to photic stimulation as a measure of cortical excitability in epilepsy patients [PDF]
Studying states and state transitions in the brain is challenging due to nonlinear, complex dynamics. In this research, we analyze the brain's response to non-invasive perturbations.

Effect of photic stimulation on acetylcholine release from cat cerebral cortex [PDF]
Cortical release of acetylcholine was assayed using the leech muscle preparation in cats with transected brainstems. Both spontaneous and elicited somatosensory and visual cortical release of acetylcholine were measured, photic stimuli being directed ...

Mechanisms of Photosensitive Epilepsies
Intermittent photic stimulation was performed in 21 photosensitive epileptic patients and the relation of the photoparoxysmal response (PPR) to the epilepsy syndrome was determined in a study at the National Epilepsy Center, Shizuoka Higashi Hospital ...

Does age influence diagnostic outcomes in an adult cohort referred to a first‐seizure clinic?
Abstract Objective The aging Danish population is associated with increasing morbidity and healthcare utilization. This study examines age‐related differences in resource utilization and diagnostic outcomes between older (65–95 years) and younger adults (18–64 years) evaluated for suspected epilepsy, including clinical management, diagnostic yield, and
