Developmental brain damage after chemically induced epileptic seizures.
25 Wistar rats were subjected twice daily to epileptic seizures induced by the convulsant gaz Flurothyl. Compared with littermates of the same sex and birth weight, the brain of seizure-treated rats showed a reduction of 6% (5.2 million cells) after 5 days and 17.6% (33.4 million cells) after 10 days of treatment.
