Scopolamine is an anti-muscarinic and cholinolytic alkaloid that inhibits parasympathetic-cholinergic system.7 The central effects include hallucinations, disorientation, restlessness and euphoria.8 Scopolamine disturb the stimulus detection performance in rats by interfering with the reticular cholinergic pathways.9
Caution
Shelf-life of the powder is at least five years when stored at room temperature.
Cognitive comorbidities can substantially reduce quality of life in people with epilepsy. Inflammation is a component of all chronic diseases including epilepsy, as well as acute events like status epilepticus (SE). Neuroinflammation is the consequence of several broad signaling cascades
Malformations of cortical development (MCD) are a common cause of intractable seizures in humans. Among these, focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) poses an outstanding challenge. There are several subtypes of FCD that show significant variation in pathology and clinical presentation. All
The central cholinergic system is involved in several cognitive functions such as attention, consciousness, learning and memory. Functional imaging of this neurotransmitter system may provide novel opportunities in the diagnosis and evaluation of cognitive disorders. The aim of this study

High-frequency oscillations (HFOs; 80-500 Hz) are thought to mirror the pathophysiological changes occurring in epileptic brains. However, the distribution of HFOs during seizures remains undefined. Here, we recorded from the hippocampal CA3 subfield, subiculum, entorhinal cortex, and dentate gyrus to
To determine whether brains irradiated at different stages of prenatal development also have different postnatal susceptibility to seizures evoked by pilocarpine. Pregnant Wistar rats were exposed to a single 1.0-Gy dose of gamma rays on gestation days 13, 15, 17
