  • Aberrant behavior and psychopathology associated with seizure disorders that most often lead to neuropsychiatrie intervention occur during preictal, postictal, and interictal periods, rather than during the seizure itself.

  • Response of astrocytes to ictal and interictal discharges in EC slices.

  • This interictal discharge activity is accompanied by an increase in Ca

    PLoS Biology: New Articles Marta Gómez-Gonzalo et al. 2010

  • In a first series of experiments, we investigated neuron and astrocyte activities in entorhinal cortex (EC) slices during interictal and ictal discharges induced by the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)

    PLoS Biology: New Articles Marta Gómez-Gonzalo et al. 2010

  • We test here whether a cooperation between astrocytes and neurons is a prerequisite to support ictal (seizure-like) and interictal epileptiform events.

    PLoS Biology: New Articles Marta Gómez-Gonzalo et al. 2010

  • In support of an astrocyte role in epileptiform activities, it has been proposed that the interictal events recorded between seizures might be in some conditions tetrodotoxin

    PLoS Biology: New Articles Marta Gómez-Gonzalo et al. 2010

  • Postictal depression was also consistently observed after an ictal event, whereas it was not present after an interictal spike

    PLoS Biology: New Articles Marta Gómez-Gonzalo et al. 2010

  • In contrast, interictal discharges were not associated with Ca
