Epileptic fast oscillations and synchrony in vitro
Abstract
Very fast oscillations (VFOs; >70-80 Hz) precede and superimpose upon electrographic seizures. Knowing the cellular mechanisms of VFOs may offer clues to therapy. In vitro models, and ultrastructural and network modeling data, suggest that VFOs are generated by electrical coupling between principal neurons, and that VFOs are favored by the suppression of chemical neurotransmission.
