Does pilocarpine-induced epilepsy in adult rats require status epilepticus? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Pilocarpine-induced seizures in rats provide a widely animal model of temporal lobe epilepsy. Some evidences reported in the literature suggest that at least 1 h of status epilepticus (SE) is required to produce subsequent chronic phase, due to the SE ...
