Certain Wistar rats from our laboratory colony present genetically determined seizures similar to human petit-mal absences. Muscimol, THIP and L-baclofen, agonists of GABA receptors, and gamma-vinyl GABA (GVG), an inhibitor of GABA degradation, enhanced the duration of spontaneous petit-mal-like seizures in a dose-dependent fashion. These findings raise questions as to the role of GABAergic neurotransmission in the occurrence of this type of spontaneous spike and wave discharges.
我们实验室种群中的某些Wistar大鼠表现出与人类小发作失神相似的遗传性癫痫发作。GABA受体激动剂蝇蕈醇、THIP和L-巴氯芬,以及GABA降解抑制剂γ-乙烯基GABA(GVG),以剂量依赖性方式延长了自发性小发作样癫痫发作的持续时间。这些发现引发了关于GABA能神经传递在这种自发性棘波和慢波放电发生中作用的疑问。
