Limbic seizures produced by pilocarpine in rats: Behavioural, electroencephalographic and neuropathological study
Behavioural, electroencephalographic and neuropathological responses to increasing doses of pilocarpine (100-400 mg/kg) administered intraperitoneally to rats were studied. At the dose of 400 mg/kg… Expand

Review: Cholinergic mechanisms and epileptogenesis. The seizures induced by pilocarpine: A novel experimental model of intractable epilepsy
High‐dose treatment with pilocarpine hydrochloride, a cholinergic muscarinic agonist, induces seizures in rodents following systemic or intracerebral administration. Pilocarpine seizures are… Expand

Rat Brain Slices Produce and Liberate Kynurenic Acid upon Exposure to l‐Kynurenine
Abstract: The incorporation of l‐kynurenine (L‐KYN) into kynurenic acid (KYNA) was examined in rat brain slices. KYNA was measured in the slices and in the incubation medium after purification by… Expand

The susceptibility of rats to pilocarpine-induced seizures is age-dependent.
Behavioral, electroencephalographic and morphological changes induced by systemic administration of pilocarpine hydrochloride were studied in 3-90-day-old rats. Pilocarpine, 100, 200 and 380 mg/kg,… Expand

Cholinomimetics produce seizures and brain damage in rats
Microinjections of the cholinergic agonists, carbachol and bethanechol, either into the amygdala or into the dorsal hippocampus produced sustained limbic seizures and brain damage in rats. Systemic… Expand

Sedative and anticonvulsant drugs suppress postnatal neurogenesis
Sedative and anticonvulsant drugs, which inhibit N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptor–mediated excitation or enhance GABA‐mediated action, may cause apoptotic neurodegeneration in the developing mammalian… Expand

Dopamine-sensitive anticonvulsant site in the rat striatum
The basal ganglia are involved in the organization of movement and function in the initiation and expression of generalized and limbic seizures. Dopamine is the principal neurotransmitter of the… Expand
