Transition to Seizure in the CA3 Hippocampal Network: Predominant Preictal GABAergic Potentials, followed by Predominant Ictal Glutamatergic Potentials

The mechanisms underlying the transition to seizure are still unresolved. Proposed mechanisms include excitatory GABAergic drive, loss of interneuron-mediated inhibition, and glutamatergic input potentiation. The objective of this thesis was to investigate the relative contributions of synchronized...
