Serotonergic Modulation of Absence-Like Seizures in Groggy Rats: a Novel Rat Model of Absence Epilepsy

To explore the role of the serotonergic system in modulating absence seizures, we examined the effects of 5-HT1A and 5-HT2 agonists on the incidence of spike-and-wave discharges (SWD) in Groogy (GRY) rats, a novel rat model of absence-like epilepsy. GRY rats exhibited spontaneous absence-like seizur...
