Impaired cortico-striatal excitatory transmission triggers epilepsy

Impaired cortico-striatal excitatory transmission triggers epilepsy

Spike and wave discharge (SWD) activity is seen during absence seizures and is thought to be thalamocortical in origin. Here, the authors show that SWDs are initiated through the impaired corticostriatal excitatory transmissions onto striatal fast spiking interneurons.
