Exploring the transition from inter-ictal to ictal epileptiform discharges (IDs) and how GABAA receptormediated action affects the onset of IDs will enrich our understanding of epileptogenesis and epilepsy treatment.We used Mg2+-free artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF) to induce epileptiform discharges in juvenile mouse hippocampal slices and used a micro-electrode array to record the discharges.After the slices were exposed to Mg2+-free ACSF for 10 min-20 min,synchronous recurrent seizurelike events were recorded across the slices,and each event evolved from inter-ictal epileptiform discharges (IIDs) to pre-ictal epileptiform discharges (PIDs),and then to IDs.During the transition from IIDs to PIDs,the duration of discharges increased and the inter-discharge interval decreased.After adding 3 μmol/L of the GABAA receptor agonist muscimol,PIDs and IDs disappeared,and IIDs remained.Further,the application of 10 μmol/L muscimol abolished all the epileptiform discharges.When the GABAA receptor antagonist bicuculline was applied at 10 μmol/L,IIDs and PIDs disappeared,and IDs remained at decreased intervals.These results indicated that there are dynamic changes in the hippocampal network preceding the onset of IDs,and GABAA receptor activity suppresses the transition from IIDs to IDs in juvenile mouse hippocampus.

Human functional MRI studies in acute and various chronic pain conditions have revolutionized how we view pain,and have led to a new theory that complex multi-dimensional pain experience (sensory-discriminative,affective/motivational,and cognitive) is rep
Chronic pain and itch are a pathological operation of the somatosensory system at the levels of primary sensory neurons,spinal cord and brain.Pain and itch are clearly distinct sensations,and recent studies have revealed the separate neuronal pathways tha
In 1905,Henry Head first suggested that transmission of pain-related protopathic information can be negatively modulated by inputs from afferents sensing innocuous touch and temperature.In 1965,Melzak and Wall proposed a more concrete gate control theory
Most attempts at rational development of new analgesics have failed,in part because chronic pain involves multiple processes that remain poorly understood.To improve translational success,one strategy is to select novel targets for which there is proof of
Due to the complex circuitry and plethora of cell types involved in somatosensation,it is becoming increasingly important to be able to observe cellular activity at the population level.In addition,since cells rely on an intricate variety of extracellular
Peripheral itch stimuli are transmitted by sensory neurons to the spinal cord dorsal horn,which then transmits the information to the brain.The molecular and cellular mechanisms within the dorsal horn for itch transmission have only been investigated and
Different physical and chemical stimuli are detected by the peripheral sensory receptors of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons,and the generated inputs are transmitted via afferent fibers into the central nervous system.The gene expression profiles of DRG
