Combination of antiseizure medications phenobarbital, ketamine, and midazolam reduces soman‐induced epileptogenesis and brain pathology in rats
Abstract Objective Cholinergic‐induced status epilepticus (SE) is associated with a loss of synaptic gamma‐aminobutyric acid A receptors (GABAAR) and an increase in N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptors (NMDAR) and amino‐3‐hydroxy‐5‐methyl‐4‐isoxazolepropionic acid receptors (AMPAR) that may contribute to...
