Abstract:Epileptogenesis, the process by which the brain becomes epileptic, is related to neuroinflammation, hyperexcitability, and as a result cognitive deficits. Evidence suggests that therapeutic strategies targeting pathologic brain inflammation have emerged as a promising approach that prevents or disease-modifying therapy for epileptogenesis. Therefore, the PTZ kindling model of epilepsy was utilized to assess the neuroprotective role of thiamine in epileptogenesis. Male rats were exposed to PTZ-induced kindling … Show more
