Low frequency stimulation decreases seizure activity in a mutation model of epilepsy.
Epilepsia - 1 Sept 2010
Kile Kara Buehrer, Tian Nan, Durand Dominique M
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate brain electrical activity in Q54 mice that display spontaneous seizures because of a gain-of-function mutation of the Scn2a sodium channel gene, and to evaluate the efficacy of low frequency deep brain stimulation (DBS) for seizure frequency reduction. METHODS: Electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), and hippocampal deep electrodes were implanted into Q54 mice expressing an...
