pilocarpine and Epilepsy, Reflex

pilocarpine has been researched along with Epilepsy, Reflex 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.

Epilepsy, Reflex: A subtype of epilepsy characterized by seizures that are consistently provoked by a certain specific stimulus. Auditory, visual, and somatosensory stimuli as well as the acts of writing, reading, eating, and decision making are examples of events or activities that may induce seizure activity in affected individuals. (From Neurol Clin 1994 Feb;12(1):57-8)

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The effects of ALAC administered per os were evaluated by standard protocols against audiogenic seizures in Genetic Epilepsy Prone Rats (GEPR-9 rats), maximal electroshock (MES)-induced seizures in rats, pilocarpine-induced seizures in mice, spontaneous chronic seizures in mice exposed to pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus (SE), and absence seizures in WAG/Rij rats."7.77Preclinical activity profile of α-lactoalbumin, a whey protein rich in tryptophan, in rodent models of seizures and epilepsy. ( Citraro, R; De Fazio, S; De Sarro, G; Mainardi, P; Perucca, E; Raggio, R; Russo, E; Scicchitano, F, 2011)
" Here, we induced lithium-pilocarpine status epilepticus (SE) in Genetic Absence Epilepsy Rats from Strasbourg (GAERS) or in Wistar audiogenic sensitive (AS) rats."7.74The role of the inherited genetic background on the consequences of lithium-pilocarpine status epilepticus: study in Genetic Absence Epilepsy Rats from Strasbourg and Wistar audiogenic rats. ( Ferrandon, A; Hanaya, R; Koning, E; Nehlig, A, 2008)
"The administration of pilocarpine (PILO) is widely recognized as resulting in an experimental model of temporal lobe epilepsy; it is characterized by induction of status epilepticus (SE) and spontaneous recurrent seizures after a latent period."7.72Neuroethological study of status epilepticus induced by systemic pilocarpine in Wistar audiogenic rats (WAR strain).
