Abstract:
:We examined the effects of early epileptiform activity on development of visuocortical receptive fields in the rabbit. Aqueous penicillin was injected twice a day into a cannula implanted over the monocular area of one visual cortex. Drug administration was begun on postnatal day 8-9 and continued until postnatal day 24-30. Concomitant with the penicillin injections a mixture of penicillin and penicillinase was similarly applied to the monocular area of the contralateral control cortex. Interictal discharges were routinely observed only from the penicillin-treated or epileptic cortex. Single-unit recordings made on postnatal day 25-31 revealed that in the neuronal population adjacent to the cortical penicillin focus percentages of receptive field types were severely altered relative to control cortex percentages. Epileptic cortex showed an abnormally high percentage of no response type cells together with an abnormally low percentage of complex and oriented-directional type cells. These abnormalities were greater closer to the penicillin focus than further from it. Epileptic visual cortex receptive field percentages are compared with those for the neonatal rabbit and the rabbit subjected to early monocular deprivation. One interpretation of our results is that development of complex and oriented-directional type cells is impeded by epileptogenic disruption of organized geniculostriate activity.
