Developmental patterns of postictal refractoriness and potentiation akin to cortical stimulation.

abstract：PURPOSE:Status epilepticus (SE) is more common in children than adults and has a high mortality and morbidity rate. SE in adult rats results in long-term disturbances in learning and memory, as well as an enhanced seizure susceptibility to further seizures. In contrast, a number of studies suggest that the immature bra...
