Self-sustaining status epilepticus after brief electrical stimulation of the perforant path

A M Mazarati et al. Brain Res. 1998.

Abstract

We examined the duration of intermittent perforant path stimulation (PPS) needed to induce self-sustaining status epilepticus (SSSE) in rats. Seven-minute PPS did not induce SSSE. Some rats receiving 15 min and all animals after 30 min PPS developed SSSE that continued for hours. The animals killed 3 days after SSSE showed extensive neuronal damage. Those which were allowed to survive for 6 weeks after SSSE displayed spontaneous seizures.
