The effects of bilateral carotid occlusion (BCO) on electroencephalographic (EEG) activity and hippocampal structural integrity was studied in 25 Mongolian gerbils. During BCO EEG became flat in frontal cortex and hippocampus but bilateral spikes and motor signs were recorded during this period. Following release of clamping EEG gradually recovered within 36 h but interictal activity persisted disappearing on the 6th-7th day. At the end of 7 days a selective necrosis of CA1 hippocampal neurons was observed. The results indicate that 10 min cerebral ischemia induces a transient epileptic activity followed by the CA1 neuronal loss. Mechanisms underlying ischemic damage are complex and probably they involve an altered synaptic transmission.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009336 Necrosis The death of cells in an organ or tissue due to disease, injury or failure of the blood supply.
D002546 Ischemic Attack, Transient Brief reversible episodes of focal, nonconvulsive ischemic dysfunction of the brain having a duration of less than 24 hours, and usually less than one hour, caused by transient thrombotic or embolic blood vessel occlusion or stenosis. Events may be classified by arterial distribution, temporal pattern, or etiology (e.g., embolic vs. thrombotic).

D004827 Epilepsy A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of paroxysmal brain dysfunction due to a sudden, disorderly, and excessive neuronal discharge. Epilepsy classification systems are generally based upon: (1) clinical features of the seizure episodes (e.g., motor seizure), (2) etiology (e.g., post-traumatic), (3) anatomic site of seizure origin (e.g., frontal lobe seizure), (4) tendency to spread to other structures in the brain, and (5) temporal patterns (e.g., nocturnal epilepsy).

D006624 Hippocampus A curved elevation of GRAY MATTER extending the entire length of the floor of the TEMPORAL HORN of the LATERAL VENTRICLE (see also TEMPORAL LOBE). The hippocampus proper, subiculum, and DENTATE GYRUS constitute the hippocampal formation. Sometimes authors include the ENTORHINAL CORTEX in the hippocampal formation.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
