摘要
We previously reported that low Mg2+ or 4-aminopyridine induced seizure-like events in organotypic hippocampal slice cultures (OHSCs) were resistant to standard antiepileptic drugs (Albus et al., 2008). We now show that high-frequency electrical stimulation induced ictal-like afterdischarges in OHSCs are effectively suppressed by the standard antiepileptic drugs phenytoin and carbamazepine. Thus, a single OHSC can express both pharmacoresistant and pharmacosensitive epileptiform activities. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
