4. Suppression of hippocampal kindling seizures by lorazepam and levetiracetam

Benzodiazepine GABA enhancers and levetiracetam are known to be effective in suppression of kindling seizures, but the effects of these antiepileptic drugs on regional after discharges adjacent to the kindling sits are largely unknown. We explored this issue in a mouse model of hippocampal kindling and compared the effects of lorazepam and levetiracetam on hippocampal and piriform after discharges as the piriform cortex is thought to play a critical role in genesis of kindling seizures.
