In this paper, we use a basal ganglia-corticothalamic model(BGCT) to study control effect of the absence epilepsy seizure. It is shown that the seizure state can be well controlled by tuning activation level of the thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN), specific relay nuclei (SRN), striatal D1 neurons and striatal D2 neurons. And then, one type of deep brain stimulation voltage employed on SRN, we find that seizure activities can also be controlled by tuning the period (P) and the duration of effective current (D) in a period into some appropriate ranges. So, we infer that the thalamic and striatal tissue may become effective target regions in clinical treatment of epilepsy in the future.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
