Effects of musical training on speech-induced modulation in corticospinal excitability.

abstract：:Adenosine has an anticonvulsant effect in various models of epilepsy. This effect appears to be mediated through the activation of adenosine A1 receptors (A1Rs). We immunohistochemically investigated the changes of A1Rs expression in kainate-treated and hippocampus-kindled rats as chronic models of epilepsy. In the no...
