Rapidly recurring cortical seizures induce changes in neuronal responsiveness to acetylcholine. 快速反复发作的皮层癫痫引起神经元对乙酰胆碱反应的改变。

It is likely that these changes are caused by modifications in the membrane receptor sensitivity to a specific neurotransmitter. In view of the above, the purpose of the present study has been to evaluate the sensitivity of the postsynaptic receptor by means of the microiontophoretic applications of substances whose pharmacological effect is known, thus determining its possible involvement in the epileptic process. Changes in cortical excitability were induced by electric stimuli in the sensorimotor cortex of rats anesthetized with urethane (1 g/kg intraperitoneally), immobilized with pancuronium bromide and kept alive with mechanical respiration. The electric stimuli consisted of trains of biphasic pulses, each lasting one millisecond, with a frequency of 100 pps and with a train duration of 1 second. The response of the neuron to acetylcholine was evaluated before and after the kindling had been established. The dosage was measured in nanoamperes of microiontophoretic ejecting current. Extracellular field potentials were recorded with the central barrel of 4-barrel micropipettes. Peripheral barrels were used for iontophoretic applications of Acetylcholine (Ach .1, 1M), Atropine (25mM). One of these barrels containing NaCl (2M) was used for the automatic passage of balancing current.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)</p>","PeriodicalId":75608,"journal":{"name":"Boletin de estudios medicos y biologicos","volume":"40 1-4","pages":"49-56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12471256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
