We produced limbic status epilepticus in rats by injecting a combination of dibutyryl-cAMP (db-cAMP) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) into the amygdala (AM). Thirty minutes after intra-AM db-cAMP/EDTA injection, thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) was administered intravenously or intracerebroventricularly. Intravenous TRH (3, 25, 50 mg/kg) produced immediate activation of electroclinical seizures, lasting for 25-45 min. In some animals which showed this seizure activation, complete seizure suppression occurred 55-70 min after the TRH treatment. Similar activation of ictal seizures with delayed seizure suppression was obtained after intracerebroventricular TRH (25, 50 micrograms). The findings suggest that the effects of intravenous TRH are due to its central action and that the use of intravenous TRH is not a promising approach for the treatment of status epilepticus.

D008032 Limbic System A set of forebrain structures common to all mammals that is defined functionally and anatomically. It is implicated in the higher integration of visceral, olfactory, and somatic information as well as homeostatic responses including fundamental survival behaviors (feeding, mating, emotion). For most authors, it includes the AMYGDALA; EPITHALAMUS; GYRUS CINGULI; hippocampal formation (see HIPPOCAMPUS); HYPOTHALAMUS; PARAHIPPOCAMPAL GYRUS; SEPTAL NUCLEI; anterior nuclear group of thalamus, and portions of the basal ganglia.
