  2. Seizure threshold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seizure_threshold

    The term seizure threshold is used to describe the balance between excitatory (glutaminergic) and inhibitory (GABA-ergic) forces in the brain which affect how susceptible a person is to seizures. Those diagnosed with epilepsy or certain other neurological conditions are more vulnerable to seizures if the threshold is reduced, and should be ...

  3. Pentylenetetrazol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentylenetetrazol

    Pentylenetetrazol has been used experimentally to study seizure phenomena and to identify pharmaceuticals that may control seizure susceptibility. For instance, researchers can induce status epilepticus in animal models. Pentylenetetrazol is also a prototypical anxiogenic drug and has been extensively used in animal models of anxiety.

  4. Anticonvulsant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anticonvulsant

    Patients whose epilepsy is uncontrolled by their medication (i.e., it is refractory to treatment) are selected to see if supplementing the medication with the new drug leads to an improvement in seizure control. Any reduction in the frequency of seizures is compared against a placebo. [21]

  5. Primidone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primidone

    Primidone is an anticonvulsant of the barbiturate class; [7] however, its long-term effect in raising the seizure threshold is likely due to its active metabolite, phenobarbital. [10] The drug’s other active metabolite is phenylethylmalonamide (PEMA). Primidone was approved for medical use in the United States in 1954. [7]

  6. Causes of seizures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_seizures

    A brain injury can cause seizure(s) because of the unusual amount of energy that is discharged across of the brain when the injury occurs and thereafter. A disruption of the supply of oxygen may cause damage to the temporal lobe of the brain. [35] The risk of seizure(s) from a closed head injury is about 15%. [36]

  7. Biperiden - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biperiden

    Biperiden may lower the seizure-threshold. Some instances of dementia have been noted to correlate with chronic administration of anticholinergic medications such as biperiden for Parkinson's disease. [13] Peripheral side effects : Blurred vision, dry mouth, impaired sweating, abdominal discomfort, and obstipation are frequent.
