Interrelation of spreading depression and epileptiform burst in the lateral amygdala

ABSTRACT

Background and Purpose: Spreading depression [SD] is a neuronal-glyal depolarization, with a possible role in different neurological disorders including epilepsy and migraine aura. Initiation and propagation of SD modulate excitability of neuronal network. The aim of the present study was to investigate electrophysiological characteristics of neurons of the lateral amygdala in the late phase of excitability during SD
