In vitro hippocampal slices were prepared from control and commissural-kindled rats and the inhibitory processes of the dentate granule cells were assessed using paired perforant path stimulation. An early (20 ms) Cl(-)-dependent and a late (200 ms-8 s) Cl(-)-independent inhibition were shown to be present in the dentate. Enhancement of the late Cl(-)-insensitive inhibition was observed following the establishment of commissural kindling and persisted for periods of up to eight weeks following the last seizure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
