Effects of dipropylacetic acid on late components of the photically evoked potential and afterdischarge in rat.
The effects of dipropylacetic acid (DPA) on primary, secondary and afterdischarge waves of the photically evoked potential were examined. It was observed that DPA selectively attenuated late wave components and afterdischarge. A thalamic locus of action for these effects is postulated.
