Sentence examples for models of absence from inspiring English sources
Data from invasive recordings and manipulations in well-validated genetic models of absence epilepsy have supported the hypothesis that absence seizures are of cortical origin.
Animal models of absence epilepsy showed the possibility of a transition between sleep spindles and GSW suggesting a common origin [29], [69].
We previously demonstrated enhanced tonic inhibition in thalamocortical neurons from diverse genetic and pharmacological models of absence seizures [17], and these findings are extended by our present observations in thalamocortical neurons of SSADH deficient mice.
Extrasynaptic GABAA receptors in thalamocortical neurons are critical for seizure genesis in two of the best established models of absence, the genetic absence epilepsy rats from Strasbourg (GAERS) and GHB models, and their selective activation can induce seizures in normal animals [17].
In animal models of absence epilepsy, cognitive functions have received surprisingly little attention.
ETX has also been shown to reduce the frequency of SWD in rodent models of absence epilepsy (33).
For this, activation of either the rostral or caudal parts of the deep and intermediate layers of the superior colliculus was applied in a genetic model of absence seizures in the rat (GAERS).
Here we describe the use of brain punch micro-sampling, used in combination with commercially available cDNA arrays, for profiling brain gene expression in a mutant strain of rat (GAERS model of absence epilepsy).
In vivo, 45 suppressed seizure frequency in a rat model of absence epilepsy and showed significant alterations of sleep architecture after oral dosing to rats as measured by EEG.
This behaviour has also been observed in a more detailed, higher dimensional model of interacting neural masses used as a model of absence epilepsy, so our results suggest that there is an underlying bifurcation mechanism leading to this type of dynamics.
More recently, electrophysiological recordings in a rat (WAG/Rij) genetic model of absence epilepsy demonstrated the existence of a cortical focus within the perioral regions of somatosensory cortex [30], [31].
