Aa. Shandra et al., ON THE MECHANISM OF ANTIEPILEPTIC PEPTIDES APPEARANCE IN THE CEREBROSPINAL-FLUID, Brain research bulletin, 35(4), 1994, pp. 285-287
Intraventricular injection of cerebrospinal fluid obtained from cats w
ith electroshock seizures resulted in suppression of generalized picro
toxin-induced seizures in rats. Antiepileptic action of cerebrospinal
fluid was abolished by partial bilateral midbrain destruction that inc
luded the region of colliculi superii. Electrical stimulation of cereb
ellum in cats with such destructions caused the appearance of a pronas
e-sensitive antiepileptic substances in cerebrospinal fluid.
