pilocarpine and Convulsions, Grand Mal

pilocarpine has been researched along with Convulsions, Grand Mal in 5 studies

Pilocarpine: A slowly hydrolyzed muscarinic agonist with no nicotinic effects. Pilocarpine is used as a miotic and in the treatment of glaucoma.
(+)-pilocarpine : The (+)-enantiomer of pilocarpine.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Thresholds for producing seizures in brain-derived neurotrophic factor wild-type and brain-derived neurotrophic factor heterozygous mice were compared in several seizure models, including thresholds for electrically-induced clonic, tonic-clonic and 6 Hz limbic seizures, as well as seizures induced chemically by kainate, pilocarpine and pentylenetetrazol."3.73The seizure-related phenotype of brain-derived neurotrophic factor knockdown mice. ( Barton, ME; Shannon, HE, 2005)
"Animals exposed to seizures in utero showed impaired social behavior with no signs of anxiety-like behavior."1.38Social behavior impairment in offspring exposed to maternal seizures in utero. ( Amado, D; Cysneiros, RM; Novaes, GF; Scorza, FA, 2012)
"Transition into limbic seizures and recurrent seizures were delayed in both age groups and threshold intensities for limbic ADs were at some intervals higher in SE than in control animals."1.35Changes of cortical epileptic afterdischarges after status epilepticus in immature rats. ( Kubová, H; Mares, P; Tsenov, G, 2008)
