Reduction of duration and severity of megimide seizures in rats on a folic acid deficient diet.

abstract：:Carbamazepine (CBZ) selectively suppressed kindled convulsions, whereas ethosuximide (ESM) suppressed spike-wave activity accompanying systemic penicillin epilepsy in cats. Evoked potential data indicated that CBZ acted at the thalamic level, whereas ESM acted at cortex. Reduction of seizures and thalamic or cortical ...
