Low frequency stimulation (LFS) is a potential alternative therapy for epilepsy. However, it seems that the anticonvulsant effects of LFS depend on its target sites in the brain. Thus, the present study was designed to compare the anticonvulsant effects of LFS administered to amygdala, piriform cortex and substantia nigra on amygdala kindling acquisition. In control group, rats were kindled in ...

the effect of repetitive electrical field stimulation and the response of the guinea-pig and rat ileal longitudinal muscle to single pulse stimulations was examined. single pulse field stimulation produced twitch contraction which was inhibited by repetitive field stimulation (10 hz, 40v, 0.5 msec for 5 m). this inhibition was largely, though never completely, reversed by naloxone. contractions...

nasal mucosa has an extraordinary nerve supply with unique geometry that encompasses complex physiology. among these, side-specific predilections to the respiratory and autonomic centers are the interesting issues that have been raised about the consequences of the nasal irritations. the aim of the study was an evaluation of how intranasal stimulation influences lung mechanics and determines wh...

objective(s):to determine the effect of acetylcholine (ach), pilocarpine, and atropine on pain evoked responses of pain excited neurons (pen) and pain inhibited neurons (pin) in hippocampal ca3 region of morphine addicted rats. materials and methods:female wistar rats, weighing between 230-260 g were used in this study. morphine addicted rats were generated by subcutaneous injection of increasi...
