Reduced ictogenic potential of 4-aminopyridine in the perirhinal and entorhinal cortex of kainate-treated chronic epileptic rats

We investigated the potential of 4-AP (50–100 μM) to induce seizure-like events (SLEs) in combined entorhinal cortex–hippocampal slices from Sprague Dawley rats which developed spontaneous limbic seizures following kainic acid induced status epilepticus. Slices from control rats (n=8) displayed SLEs...
