Psychopathology and seizure threshold.
Commentary This expertly designed, conducted, and analyzed study adds to prior studies that have examined the bidirectional association between psychopathology and epilepsy. Adelöw et al. (1) recently provided robust prospective data in a population-based case-control study using the Stockholm Epilepsy Register that confirmed this relationship in individuals hospitalized for a wide range of psy...
متن کاملSeizure threshold in electroconvulsive therapy: I. Initial seizure threshold.
We measured initial seizure threshold by means of a structured stimulus dosage titration procedure in a clinical sample of 111 depressed patients undergoing brief-pulse, constant-current electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Initial seizure threshold was approximately 60 millicoumbs (mc) (10 Joules) on average, but varied widely (6-fold) across patients. Initial seizure threshold was predicted by fo...
متن کاملHippocampal melatonin receptors modulate seizure threshold.
PURPOSE The pineal hormone melatonin has been shown to enhance hippocampal excitability. We therefore investigated whether inactivation of hippocampal melatonin receptors affects behavioral seizures. METHODS Intrahippocampal infusions were performed in rats to study the effect of different melatonin receptor antagonists on behavioral activity, EEG, and seizure susceptibility. Experiments were...
متن کاملComparison between the effects of quercetin on seizure threshold in acute and chronic seizure models.
Flavonoids are important constituents of food and beverages, and several studies have shown that they have neuroactive properties. Many of these compounds are ligands for γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptors in the central nervous system. This study aimed to investigate the anticonvulsant effects of quercetin (3,3',4',5,7-pentahydroxyflavone), which is a flavonoid found in plants, in rats treat...
متن کاملThe Effect of Methamphetamine on Seizure Threshold and Epileptogenesis
Epilepsy, one of the most common chronic neurological disorders, is characterized by recurrent spontaneous seizures. Seizures result from many causes including genetic or developmental defects, traumatic brain injury, substance abuse, infection, fever, metabolic disturbances, withdrawal symptoms and space-occupying lesions in the brain. Memamphetarnine (METH), a schedule II drug, leads to seizu...
