Dual effects of glutamate on cyclic AMP levels in slices of rat cerebral cortex with an iron-induced epileptic focus. 1983

Y Hattori, and K Inaba, and A Moriwaki, and N Nishida, and H Yasuhara, and Y Hori

An epileptic focus not resulting in generalized convulsions was induced by a microinjection of ferric chloride solution into the left anterior cortex of rats. The formation of the epileptic focus was confirmed by the appearance of bilateral spike and slow wave complexes as well as focal isolated spikes in electrocorticograms (ECoGs). The effect of glutamate on cyclic AMP accumulation was examined in incubated slices prepared from four quadrants of the epileptic cortex. In animals showing isolated spikes 8 to 10 days after the microinjection, the effect of glutamate on cyclic AMP accumulation was stimulatory. It was greatest in the left anterior quadrant which included the injection site, but only slight in the left and right posterior quadrants. In animals showing spike and slow wave complexes 30 to 60 days after the microinjection, the stimulatory effect of glutamate was also most pronounced in the left anterior quadrant. In the right anterior and the left posterior quadrants glutamate had almost no effect, while in the right posterior quadrant, glutamate was inhibitory.

D004828 Epilepsies, Partial Conditions characterized by recurrent paroxysmal neuronal discharges which arise from a focal region of the brain. Partial seizures are divided into simple and complex, depending on whether consciousness is unaltered (simple partial seizure) or disturbed (complex partial seizure). Both types may feature a wide variety of motor, sensory, and autonomic symptoms. Partial seizures may be classified by associated clinical features or anatomic location of the seizure focus. A secondary generalized seizure refers to a partial seizure that spreads to involve the brain diffusely.
