7. Studies of the Ammon's Horn Seizure With Micro-Electrode Method

Abstract

An investigation of the Ammon's horn seizure with macro-electrodes has been conducted in our department by Harafuji6) and Oka7>. But in the experiments using macro-electrodes, there is a limit to the analysis of wave pattern and it is impossible to isolate neuronal elements which participate in the development of seizure. Therefore, the present study was designed to use micro-electrodes in order to investigate the activity of neuronal elements at the time of seizure and thus to make clear the arising mechanism of the seizure discharge').

Longitudinal Studies of Epileptic Discharge in Epileptics by All-Night Polygraphy

“…Animal experiments on the ammon's horn seizure with micro-electrode method have shown similar phenomena as our finding in the F-SP group (Otsuka et uf., 1960). 12 On the other hand, the discharge rate of the worsened condition in the G-SW group was significantly higher than that of the improved condition. Particularly in slow wave sleep, the discharge rate was higher in the worsened condition than in the improved condition.…”
