Abstract:
Summary Epileptic activity was elicited in the rat's motor cortex by local application of penicillin. At the neuronal level it consisted of typical paroxysmal depolarization shifts. The calcium agonist BAY K 8644 was injected into neurons showing such a discharge pattern. The application of this drug increased amplitude and afterdepolarization of paroxysmal neuronal depolarizations.
