Efferent and afferent vagal actions on cortical blood flow and kainic acid-induced seizure activity in urethane anesthetized rats
چکیده انگلیسی

Autonomic dysfunction during seizures can induce bradyarrhythmia via efferent vagal overactivity. We studied cardiovascular, brain blood flow, and electroencephalographic consequences of vagal stimulation during seizures in rats.Efferent vagal stimulation reduced seizure activity, completely suppressing it at high frequencies, by reducing heart rate, arterial pressure, and cortical blood flow. Afferent vagal activation was more variable, and the highest stimulation frequencies also appeared to reduce cortical blood flow.We conclude that efferent vagal activity can arrest ongoing seizure activity by ultimately decreasing hippocampal blood flow. Afferent vagal activity (which does not occur during seizures) may have a similar action.
