Increased susceptibility to generalized seizures after immunolesions of the basal forebrain cholinergic neurons in rats.
Brain research 2000;878(1-2):223-7.
We investigated whether basal forebrain cholinergic neurons influence the expression of generalized seizures. Animals received intracerebroventricular injections of saporin (lesioned) or saline (controls) and were tested for susceptibility to flurothyl- or pentylenetetrazole-induced seizures. Lesioned rats had significantly shorter latencies to onset of generalized tonic-clonic seizures than controls. Our findings suggest that basal forebrain cholinergic neurons may participate in the modulation of generalized seizures.
