Noradrenergic stimulation of α1 adrenoceptors in the medial prefrontal cortex mediates acute stress-induced facilitation of seizures in mice

Abstract Stress is one of the critical facilitators for seizure induction in patients with epilepsy. However, the neural mechanisms underlying this facilitation remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated whether noradrenaline (NA) transmission enhanced by stress exposure facilitates the inducti...
