Neurosteroidal modulation of in vitro epileptiform activity is enhanced in pilocarpine-treated epileptic rats

We employed field potential recordings in brain slices obtained from pilocarpine-treated epileptic (4–5 weeks following a pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus) and age-matched, non-epileptic control (NEC) rats to establish the effects of the neurosteroid allotetrahydrodeoxycorticosterone (THDOC) o...
